Apologies for the slow start to the week - no excuse apart from the usual Bank Holiday deadline issues.
We were struggling to think what to put on the front page when we had our news meeting earlier today.
(I'm not sure it's a good thing for Croydon that neither a shooting in Norbury nor a schoolgirl stabbing in Thornton Heath are considered natural front page stories any more, but that's another matter.)
Anyway, by the time I emerged from a lengthy meeting at 5pm things had changed completely and we had a story in the bag which is a guaranteed splash and will cause a major stir to boot. I do like it when that happens.

Welcome back, Mr Carter. Was beginning to worry that you had become on of Croydon's latest crime statistics.
An off-thread question for you, as Editor of your esteemed organ and digital version: why have the rugby reports on the website not been updated since February?
That's a very good question. With the web, any 'live' stories are put up manually by the news and sports desk, but any stories that go online at the same time they appear in print do so automatically by our editorial system. (The latter leads to occasional glitches like stories about Crystal Palace Park appearing in the football section.) For some reason, it's not automatically picking up rugby stories, I'll find ot why.
