Hi there, its Peter here with your Levy Letter this Wednesday. And isnt it a glum Wednesday? All this rain certainly doesnt make you want to get out of bed in the morning does it? Well, I hope it bucks up for the weekend, especially if youre hoping to visit Hull Fair.
Latest Split Well, in terms of celebrity couples, I thought that perhaps this relationship was for keeps. Ive read though that Madonna and her husband, Guy Ritchie, are to divorce. At least thats what has been reported. Theyve been together for nearly eight years, which in celebrity terms is a lifetime! So it looks like the seven-year-itch has kicked in! They married in December 2000 at an atmospheric looking castle in the Scottish highlands. Can you remember the pictures in all the magazines? Well, theyre to split now allegedly and if they were to split, then it leaves their two sons, seven year old Rocco and David Banda, who were adopted and her eleven year old daughter, Lourdes, from an earlier relationship. Squirrel Nutkin I think we all probably get to catch a glimpse of grey squirrels as they scurry around our parks and gardens, but what about red squirrels? If you happen to see one, then be sure to let The Wildlife Trust know, because there are fears that the red squirrel population may be hit by a deadly virus carried by its arch enemy the grey squirrel! There are fears that the grey squirrel may need to be culled in order to protect the future of red squirrels. Have any of you managed to get a snap of a red squirrel? Theyre certainly very rare. Anyway, if you have taken a good photo of a red squirrel, then do send it to me as Id love to see it. Its the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and of course we might be able to include it on the programme, just before the weather. Bring Back The Birch Did you ever get the cane at school? Or have any of you perhaps had to give the cane to a naughty kid? Im sure it might bring back some bad memories! Well, Ive read that one in five teachers would like to see the cane brought back into schools for extreme cases. What do you reckon to that? The catchphrase is, it never did me any harm whats your view? Teachers are saying that theyre concerned for the lack of good behaviour in their classrooms, which is why a number of teachers are supporting corporal punishment. It was abolished in schools a decade ago, which isnt that long ago really. So there you go, one in five teachers would like to see the cane brought back, but if you look at it the other way, 80% of teachers are not in favour of corporal punishment. Im sure you have a view, so get in touch on this one to the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, that's it from me for now. I hope you can join me tonight for the programme at the usual time of half past six.
