Pressing problems

One criticism occasionally levelled at my blog is that I tend to steer away from mentioning when things go wrong.
Let me redress the balance.
I was pretty chuffed with Saturday's paper - a strong front page, really good inside news pages and features plus a bumper crop of property pages. A good 88-page package.
So why was there a bloody mountain of unsold Daily Post's when I popped in to Tesco at about 9pm?
A major problem on the presses meant that they hadn't started rolling until hours after the deadline. And that meant papers were late getting to the wholesalers and later still getting to the shops.
An investigation is underway but sincere apologies to all who were affected - I'm very sorry if you were not able to get hold of your Daily Post this weekend.
Things are back on track today. Monday's front page reveals how much money cash-strapped councils spend on those leeches who call themselves consultancy firms. Why do organisations - public and private - throw money at this useless lot? When do they ever tell you anything you couldn't work out for yourself?
Tory leader Nick Bourne has called for a review of the Welsh Language Act. It's made me think that we need to look at this whole issue in much more detail - keep your eyes peeled for a special report on this over the next few weeks.
