Hello and welcome to todays Levy Letter. I hope youre having a good day, coming up on Look North tonight at half past six on BBC One we'll be speaking to key local services as they struggle with fuel price rises. Well hear from the bus services, the fire brigade, and local producers to find out what the cost could be for you.
We look at the findings of a new study by a local university to find our why entrepreneurs are more successful in the North than in the South. What do you think of that one? Im sure well have some of your thoughts by email, text and on our answer phone as usual. We have exclusive new pictures from on board the Hull and Humber yacht in the Clipper Round the World race. And as Hull City continue their promotion push, we'll be finding out some of the things the fans are getting up to. And well have the detailed weather forecast from Paul as usual. I hope you can join me then, thats all coming up at half past six on BBC One. Voice Well having worked in radio quite a bit I know how important a voice can be, but it seems that at times women have a biological advantage. A new study claims that a woman at peak fertility has a more alluring voice. Recordings of women taken at different points in their menstrual cycle were played to people of both sexes, and the listeners were asked to rate the voices in attractiveness. Its thought that sex hormones can change the workings of a womans voice box in subtle ways that are nonetheless picked up by males who may find the woman more attractive without necessarily realising why. Despite the results of the research, scientists are apparently unable to determine how this works in real conversation, I quote, in a bar for example. Id like to see them doing that experiment! So thats another piece of no doubt expensive research with questionable results that really tells us, well, nothing much at all! Sporting Weekend Well its a big sporting weekend coming up for Hull City fans. As I mentioned, well be looking at some of the unusual things people are getting up to on the programme tonight. If youre going to be doing anything, or maybe if youve got a strange superstition you think might help the tigers get the result they need, then get in touch with me and let me know. Email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] As we saw on the programme earlier in the week, some football fans try not to change their underwear when their teams been winning. If thats the case then you dont have to send in a photograph, Ill take your word for it. Cut-out Paul A reminder that if theres anything youve ever wished to do to Paul Hudson, within reason, you can now do it with your very own, almost life size, Paul Hudson cut-out. We showed some footage on the programme of a picture of Paul being mangled by a blackbird, and that inspired BBC Radio Lincolnshires William Wright to put up a print-out-and-keep version of Paul on the BBC Lincolnshire website. You can get it here http://www.bbc.co.uk/lincolnshire/content/articles/2008/04/28/paul_hudson_drivetime_feature.shtml and it seems Pauls already had a few adventures. If you manage to put Paul in any interesting situations, let me know. Im sure hell be delighted Well thats about it from me for tonight. As always, if youve got anything you want to let us know about, a story for the programme or maybe a picture to show before the weather, you can get in touch and drop us a line by email. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the address. I look forward to reading some more of your comments. Have a very good day, I hope you can join me on Look North tonight at the usual time of half past six on BBC One.
