Pineapple and football's back

Well it's taken a long time coming but summer has certainly arrived over the last few days - although I am not sure it will last much longer.

And that has been the trigger for a whole host of meaningless emails from 'PR people' to hit my inbox linked to the current warm spell.

From barbecue recipes for baked pineapple and Mexican pork chops to how to keep cool in the car on a long journey, you name it they have sent it.

Suffice to say I have not actuially read any of them only taken one look at the header and quickly sent them to where they deserve - the trash can.

Don't they realise i am a busy persaon with a paper to edit and my readers want local news not that kind of rubbish!

Back to reality and this week's Gazette. We have some decent stories and a particularly strong exclusive splash for the main Uxbridge edition. I am not going to give any thing away here but pick up a copy of this week's paper, which is out tomorrow, and see for yourself.

I am still acting sports editor but only for a few more hours as Scott Newman arrives back tomorrow from his hols just in time for the new football season - how time flies it seems only yesterday that the last one was finishing.
