Baby is delivered
I have said it before but the beauty of our website is that you can almost immediately check which stories are engaging most with readers.
On Monday we posted the story about two Russians who were caught having sex on a plane which was on its way to Heathrow.
Apart from the Heathrow angle the only other local link to the story was the fact that the convicted couple appeared before Uxbridge Magistrates.
However, we posted the story on our site on Monday aftyeroon and it has rapidly become the most viewed story on http://www.uxbridgegazette.co.uk over the last couple of days.
The story about a school in Hayes being closed after a wall collapsed has also attracted a fair bit of interest as has the story about a man being knifed in an attack at Ruislip Tube station.
This tells me that not unlike newspapers sex, crime and disasters are still some of the most popular viewing topics with readers.
Apart from keeping up with breaking news from across the borough on our website you can also read all the week's news in comprehensive style in the Gazette, which as usual is out today.
Yesterday I told you that I was waiting for a phone call to tell me that I had become a grandad.
Well that call came late last night when my son's partner Linzi produced a bouncing baby boy. I will keep you updated on names and progress over the coming days.
