Lazy Mercury Reporting
The headline in this weeks MERCURY was 'WELCOME TO HOTFORD' .. How lazy can you get?
I would like to know how this is a local story?.. Surely it was hot all over the country and not local to the Hertford area.
If it rains this week, what's the betting the headline will be 'THE RAIN IN HERTFORD LIES MAINLY ON THE BULL-PLAIN' ...Come on Mercury, let's have some relevant local news, not an easy short-cut to fill 3 pages.

You are a Mercury natural! Ever thought of applying for job with Herts and Essex Newspapers?

Agreed. What a waste of a cover story. I wish they would dig into the fact that Council say it would not be "desirable" to add any mobile phone masts to County Hall, but its ok to suggest them elsewhere in town. A story of good old double standards!

Makes a change from reporting kids swinging on a gate as being "yobbish terrorism", or throwing an aerosol can on a bonfire as "setting off a bomb" I suppose.
