A day off from the M25 'car park'
I am off to the Reigate office tomorrow for a meeting with my fellow senior editors from across the region.
It is always good to meet up and share the same 'moans and groans' and also to catch up on any new ideas they have recently introduced into their newspapers. Having previously worked at the Reigate office it is also good to have a chat with some of my former colleagues.
For some of the editors Reigate is not always a popular venue as it means battling through the M25 rush hour traffic for an early morning start. In my case it is one of my favourite venues as I live close by in Surrey and it means a day off from the M25 'car park' and my usual crack of dawn journey to Uxbridge. I shall enjoy my extra cup of tea while some of my colleagues battle through the traffic!.
It looks like we will have some cracking stories for next week's papers - and we will be looking at the worst crime spots across the borough as highlighted by a new report. This is sure to draw reaction from our readers - something I am always particuarly keen to encourage and print.
I am hoping that when I return to the office on Monday content editor David Tilley will have an update on a story that at this stage has all the making of being a great splash for all four of our editions - watch this space for more on that as it breaks.
PS: What do you think of the Christmas decorations in Uxbridge M&S?. Looks like some giant glittery marshmallows from outer space have landed!
