It will be hard hat time tomorrow, as the Advertiser front page is precisely the kind of thing that sends some people into a rage.
It's unfortunate, but as I've said many times before it's not our job to present a nicely-polished version of Croydon - we have to face the facts, no matter how unsavoury they might be sometimes.
Having said that, there is also a double-page spread featuring reporter Neil Millard, some cash machines and a load of £10 notes that shows the vast majority of people in Croydon are decent types.
We're also going big on Crystal Palace ahead of Sunday's do-or-die Burnley clash - the way they've turned their season around under Neil Warnock has been pretty remarkable, and a day out at Wembley would be a fantastic way to round it off.
In other news, yesterday's post about expenses claims led to various reporters trying to cover their own backs by dropping their colleagues in it instead.
It was an even bigger display of backstabbing than an Apprentice boardroom bust-up, and one reporter in particular has been named and shamed for trying to get a claim for a Kinder Egg past the accounts department.

I dont think you can hide that much blood from the people of croydon...
Expenses are a funny thing. A kinder egg may be a legitimate expense if you are doing a piece on a child choking on the toy inside but not if it is just to satisfy a basic need for chocolate. If chocolate is a comfort food to compensate for being shouted at by your line manager? thats a difficult call. The picture desk has put in some strange claims before, from cans of beer to 6inch nails. All of which I must add were for professional purposes. I hold my hands up to having eaten the sardines the other day!!
