Wrong page and animal magic!
After all the trials and tribulations this week I suppose it was inevitable that something would go wrong with this week's Gazette.
The same story has appeated twice in the Hayes edition as the wrong slip page for that edition appeared.
It's particularly frustrating when this happens and understandably leaves the reader feeling less than happy.
Believe you me I feel just as annoyed as any reader about the error. All I can say is that it was a genuine mistake and with the best will in the world they do occasionally happen.
As I said yesterday we are already cracking on with next week's Gazette and given the short Easter deadlines we are working with thankfully we already have some good stories on the boil.
Due to pressure of work I had to turn down a VIP invitation to the launch of the Sea Life Centre at Chessington World of Adventures & Zoo earlier this week - not that I would have gone anyway. Nevertheless I am sure it will prove a very popular attraction.
However, it seems the animal theme is following me around as I have just received an email from London Zoo telling me about nest-building and helping the tropical birds settle into their newest exhibit, the Blackburn Pavilion.
Neither of these stories will be appearing on the news pages of next week's Gazette I hasten to add but I will pass then on to our features team.
