I should write something about the teenage murder in Thornton Heath, but what can I really say?

It's a thoroughly depressing sign of the times. It's not just a problem for Croydon, it's a problem across the whole of London and it only seems to be getting worse.

The stabbing missed our print deadline, meaning we've had a very busy morning online instead.

I'm going to take a break from that now though to start wading through the CVs as we look for Lizzie Smith's replacement.

A couple of them are going straight in the bin. One is addressed 'to whom it may concern', which is just lazy, whilst another one manages to spell Croydon two different ways - both wrong - in two paragraphs. Aside from that though, it's a good field to choose from.
