Thank you for your post Helen.
As reporters we are not interested in money, but
interested in getting as much local news as
possible.
Could you please tell me how we are not covering
the Brownies?
Have the Brownies sent us information about events
which have not been covered?
Where do the Brownies promote their events? Ben
will head around there and have a look.
Has any information be sent in abot the Chalfont St
Peter feast day?
Where are the posters to publicise it so a reporter
can start gathering information?

The editor has responded on the Chamber of
Commerce issue, hence I have ammended my post
and reference to it is made elsewhere.

As for the final point there's no need to be nasty. I'm
sure you're aware there are only three of us who
write the newspaper. We do our utmost to gather as
much news as possible, but we are not psychic.
This week up until today there have only been two
reporters because I've been down with a cold after
spending two hours in the driving rain and hail
covering Sir John Mills' funeral last week.
As much as we do try to look around at noticeboards
to gather information and follow things up, people do
need to get in touch with us with their news. There is
no crystal ball.
We are more than happy to talk with people, visit
people and find out what's going on.
Ben covers Chalfont St Peter, Chalfont St Giles and
Gerrards Cross.
I cover Beaconsfield, Denham, Seer Green and
Penn.
Luke covers Iver, the Farnhams, Hedgerley and
Fulmer.
But we all take on any area and any story, as you'll
note I've been covering the recycling issue
extensively.
We are interested in the little people, we are
interested in all stories, but as I said before, we're
not psychic.
Please do get in touch by telephone on 01753
888333 or e-mail bucksnews@trinitysouth.co.uk.

Well ten brownie points down to the bucks advetisier, whilst the need to make money the little people count and the little people told me tonight, you are lacking in customer services big time. You are not covering the little people who are actually the big people at the end of the day.

1. cover the brownies

2. c.o.c the chamber we need full public awareness and history

3. csp feast date n eds more public notification

4. hello are you listening or does the computer say No...

Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.

weekend !


I'm quite scared people can see me but i can't see them!

Hello! I was in there again last night to watch liverpool v juventus (luis
garcia...hmmm...nice...and wot a goal!!!!! Pity about the away goal).
And can i just say, the 8oz beer battered haddock was superb although i was
soooo hungry i did wallop it down a tad too quickly and it was so huge!

to keep this post in line with the subject of the topic, I've subbed quite a lot of
Bucks pages this week and it really is impressive how many stories the three
reporters manage to churn out. And not be too knackered to have some kind
of life at the weekend.



Innit!

I am sure the staff at the Bux Ad would appreciate
that. It is very easy to moan and complain. I am sure
the reporters do an excellent job with somewhat
limited resources. After all, the newspaper "belongs"
to its readers. So more people should get involved
and give them stories rather than worrying how
much time they spend in the pub or not.

There is lots going on in the area and if people want
to see particular things in the newspaper they need
to get in contact.

I am sure the offices in The Vale are fully equipped
with computers, notepads and pens.

However, I suspect the one thing they don't have is a
crystal ball.




Indeed Pedro If we had a crystal ball our job
would be so much easier. Sadly I've never found a
working one.

And thank you also for your comments DanW. I still
have the day to look forward to when I get to chat
properly to a forum member about a story, on the
record.

How's his editing after a few beers? Is it possible to tell which stories have been edited after a few libations at the pub?  

Anyway, I am always in awe of people who can put a newspaper together, especially as there are so few of you. Keep up the good work and I hope somebody who moans on here, one day, takes the time to phone you so you can go on the record with them.

I used to be with it. But then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems scary and weird.

He is the editor, he is not a reporter.
You will not find Ben, Luke or myself in the pub
during working hours because we do not have time
and eat our lunches at our desks.
I felt it was important to respond to this myth about
journalists in the pub, because the three of us would
not get the paper written if we didn't put the time in.
