Hi there, and welcome to Wednesdays Levy Letter. Yesterdays slight blip in the weather looks like its over. Its lovely and sunny out there.
On tonight's programme, we'll have the remarkable story of the woman, who has volunteered herself as a human guinea pig for new cancer treatments. This comes as the NHS announces plans to recruit more people with terminal cancer for research programmes in our area. Well speak with her tonight about why she is putting herself up to be a human guinea pig. Also tonight, after seven hundred job losses in Grantham, we'll join one job seeker on the hunt for work. And if youre one of the workers at Fenland Foods in Grantham and youre out of a job, but want to share your story, then get in touch with us. If youre worried about the future and about how you will find more work, then email me straight away. Of course, itll be in confidence if you wish it so - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also on Look North tonight at half past six, we'll find out about the anti-terror laws that could see harmless photos taken in the street landing you in trouble with the police. Weve looked at this story before, but as the summer approaches, then you might go sightseeing with your camera in some of the UKs towns, so tune in tonight to find out more! And Hull is buzzing today. Our sports reporters in the newsroom are so tense as we wait for the big match tonight. There must be a lot of fingernails being bitten today I would have thought! We'll be live at the KC Stadium tonight as Hull City fans arrive for the match that could see them playing at Wembley. Thats all on BBC One at half past six. I hope you can join me then. D-Day As always, heres a little plug. This time for Ron Kitchen. If youre in the Grimsby or Cleethorpes area, then this might be of interest to you. He says that on Friday 6th June, theres a 1940s-style dance to commemorate D-Day. It will be held at the Cleethorpes Memorial Hall. The Frank Cleveland Orchestra is booked for the evening for the big-band sound. As there is a wartime theme, the meal will be traditional bangers and mash. The event will be attended by members of the Lincolnshire Military Preservation Society in full authentic period uniforms. So Ron has requested that if anybody wanted to join them in coming in similar period dress, then youd be more than welcome! So there you go. Theres a D-Day dance at the Memorial Hall on the 6th June. Enjoy! Reminisces And on a similar theme too. Liz has got in touch with me to put out a request to Levy Letter readers. She writes, Please could Peter find me a WW2 Lancaster Bomber wireless operator, who could tell me about his experiences. My uncle was a wireless operator and I'd like to know what kind of life my uncle would have led as one. So lets hope we can help Liz. Get in touch if you think you could help with her request! Itll Give You The Creeps I guarantee you that youll think of this next time youre in the supermarket! I certainly will. I read today that a tarantula was spotted in a bunch of grapes as they were being washed under the tap! I dont want to admit being scared of spiders, but this guy from Suffolk seems to be quite a cool customer. He apparently managed to catch the 5cm long creature and he took it down to the local vets. Not wanting to generalise, but Im sure there would have been many more people, who would have reacted slightly differently if theyd come across something crawling about their grapes! The quotes though from the vets startled me somewhat. They say that they get about half a dozen calls or so a year from supermarkets asking for them to come and collect lost spiders that have hitched a ride on their fruit and veg! They cited frogs too that will often be found in bananas and one or two snakes! I think people in the newsroom here will be aware of my dislike for snakes! I might double c! heck my fruit and veg quite carefully in the future just in case! Well, that's it from me for now. Enjoy your day.
