Hi there and welcome to Tuesdays Levy Letter. Weve got a busy programme for you tonight. As our East Coast fishermen travel to London to demonstrate against the rising cost of fuel, we'll be live in Boston today to hear claims that the town's cockle fishermen can't afford to take their boats out anymore. The cockle industry is at a standstill in our region at the moment. Well get the latest on this. Plus we'll look at how motorists are flocking to dealerships across the county looking to downsize their vehicles in a bid to cut their fuel costs.
Also tonight, find out why campaigners in Ingoldmells are calling on their council to standardise speed signs. Well hear their story on the programme. We'll reveal why Group 4 security are in a spot of bother after threatening to electronically tag a Scunthorpe man in a case of mistaken identity. Plus one year on from the floods, we'll look at how a workshop in circus skills is being used to help local kids get over the trauma of last year's flooding. And after a very damp start to the day, Paul will be with us as usual for the weather forecast. Thats on BBC One tonight. Tea and Biscuits Are we snobby about the quality of biscuits served up with a cup of tea? Apparently so, but it goes even further than that. About four out of five UK businesses believe that the type of biscuit they serve to potential clients could clinch the deal! The outcome of a meeting could be influenced by the range and quality of the biscuits served to customers according to a thousand businesses interviewed in a recent survey. A chocolate digestive was deemed to make a very good impression. Crumbly biscuits are a no-no though. Well fair enough I suppose. You dont want biscuit crumbs on your paperwork do you! And weve all experienced the embarrassment of stifling the hunger groans from your stomach in a quiet meeting room, but not wanting to appear too greedy with the biscuits. Well, when it comes to helping yourself to biscuits from a communal plate, the most acceptable number to take, according to this research, is just two biscuits. Any more and your colleagues will think youre ! greedy! And heres the warning, biscuit dunking is frowned upon in a meeting scenario too. So there you go, thats all according to a local survey. Health And Safety Heres the latest health and safety update! A university has asked students not to throw their mortar boards in the air to celebrate their graduation in case someone gets hurt. The fear about this age old tradition is that the corner of the mortar board may hit someone and hurt them! Oh dear! Well thats it from me. Take care and dont forget your umbrella!
