Hi there, its Peter here. Welcome to Fridays Levy Letter. The weekend is here at last. Weve got a new look Look North on Monday! So tune in from lunchtime on Monday and let us know what you think.
On tonight's programme, find out why East Riding Council are using new tactics to try and get school children to eat healthily. We'll get the views of one top chef about what can be done to keep kids away from the chip shop in their lunch break. Plus see how police in Lincolnshire are trying to prevent anti social behaviour by encouraging teenage bikers to show off their skills in a safe environment. They've got three games left and three chances to push for promotion to the Premier League - we'll have a preview of Hull City's game against Sheffield Untied at the weekend. Plus we'll be with the Lincoln Ladies football team ahead of their big match this weekend as they push for promotion too. And we'll have a special report on Hull Truck Theatre as the acclaimed company prepares for their big move later this year to a brand new venue. That exclusive report all on tonights Look North at half past six. I hope you can join me then. And just a reminder as well that its the Lord Mayors Parade coming up. On the 3rd of May, myself and BBC Radio Humbersides Lara King will be out on the streets of Hull. So put a note in your diary for that one. Its always a fun day, so hope to see you there. Weather A lovely email here, which I thought Id share with you! Good afternoon Peter, On todays lunchtime weather forecast, I was delighted to hear Paul use that old northern word "nithering" to describe the weather. But when I checked in my dictionaries, including the famed Encarta, I could find no mention of the word. Any idea of the word's origins? Obviously it's a local word, but I wonder how widely it's used and known? Perhaps Paul could enlighten us? Love the show. Adrian So thanks Adrian for getting in touch. And it is a lovely expression and very much a Yorkshire word Id imagine! So theres something to think about over the weekend. Ask your friends if they know where the word nithering came from and then get in touch and let me know! Plus are there any other local words that you think are very specific to our region? I know that snicket is used around here, especially in Lincolnshire I think, meaning alleyway. Are there any others? Get in touch, Id love to hear fr! om you. Pong And what do you reckon to this? I couldnt believe it when I heard it. Theres a foul smell hanging over the south of England at the moment and its being blamed on easterly winds brining over farming and industrial smells from across the Channel. The Met Office have had lots of calls about it apparently not sure what they can do about it!! According to the weather forecasters, our winds are normally westerly, coming off the Atlantic Ocean, so they obviously dont often bring any smells or pollution with them. At the moment, the UKs winds are easterly and are bringing smells over from near Holland, Germany and Belgium. Researchers though are trying to pinpoint the cause more accurately. So we should think ourselves lucky that were not living down south at the moment! Take care and have a lovely weekend, Peter And for the latest news and more where you live, go to: http://bbc.co.uk/humber and http://bbc.co.uk/lincolnshire ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the BBC Look North newsletter, go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/looknorthhull/newsletter/newsletter_index.shtml, enter your email address in the unsubscribe box. 1.94.4
