Counting the votes
As I predicted in a previous blog the entries in the readers vote section of our Top Toddler competition has seen the entries flooding in to Gazette House.
By the time entries closed last night more than 600 had been received which meant that content editor David Tilley has spend most of this morning locked away in an office counting them - he gets all the good jobs!
He finally emerged several hours later to triumphantly announce there was a clear winner. I am sworn to secrecy at the moment so you will have to buy a copy of next week's Gazette to find out who the winner is.
Chief reporter Chris Longhurst joined the early morning queues as the Post Office in Uxbridge town centre opened in its new home in WH Smith.
It seems the message didn't get through to a lot of people who were still turning up at the old site in The Mall Pavilions and standing in amazement at the closed sign.
I am sure there will be some mixed reaction to the move and we will featuring plenty of views in next week's paper.
We have been blessed with some really strong news weeks recently which has resulted in some strong sales figures for the paper.
This theme looks like continuing this week with a good meaty news list for a Thursday afternoon
and plenty of other stories and issues on the boil.
