Home working - it's the new garlic bread

Posted by Rob Irvine on July 25, 2006 4:26 PM | 

Garlic bread, it's the future, says Peter Kay. Not any more. It's sitting in your front room on a laptop designing the front page of the Daily Post. Our super dooper new computer system means that, with the appropriate access codes, I can now read, design and generally fiddle with the paper from the comfort of my own home. Which is very handy when we are a bit short-handed in the office late in the evening but makes it very tricky to do proper justice to a pork szechuan with fried rice (courtesy of the excellent Llandudno Junction takeaway). I don't think Mrs Editor will be too keen on me making this a habit either - but it was a chance to put the new technology through its paces. And don't be thinking you can crack the code - it makes the Nazi enigma machine look about as complex as a question on the Weakest Link. Good grief I hate that show, but now I'm digressing.
Tomorrow's edition brings you news of a public servant under investigation - something that could have serious repercussions (we have finally confirmed this story, first hinted at last week). There are two pages fom the Royal Welsh Show where Andrew Forgrave is getting some great stories - it was very alarming what he wrote about today as regards the crisis in the North Wales dairy industry. The supermarkets have driven milk prices down to a ridiculous level - can't they see this is killing dairy farms?
We also have many, many moving tributes to the poor lad from Coedpoeth who lost his life yesterday afternoon when playing in the sea at Barmouth. Young Callum's family have very kindly given us a statement and his headteacher has said some lovely things as well.
That'a all for now. Take it easy in the heat tomorrow - it's going to be pushing 90 again in North Wales. Just summon up enough energy to nip to the newsagents for a lolly...and, of course, a Daily Post.
