Shocked that this was placed BEFORE the article about the fire in the Loafers Lodge with 'multiple fatalities'. People matter more!

Hi Navina - The Bulletin takes a fair few hours to compile. Some of it is done the night before and then I get up at 4am. The terrible news about Loafers Lodge was only starting to break in the morning and we did not have a lot of detail. It would have been impossible and a bit irresponsible of me to try and write a full lead on it with the information we had that was only starting to be confirmed by official sources. It’s placement was not an indication of significance but timing and breaking news protocol. Thanks - Anna

Understand your protocol but to the average reader it def suggested significance. I don’t see why the copy you wrote couldn’t have been the lead? Imagine if Grenfell tower was happening but also still developing so it was third after an article about the labour leaders new policy on tax? Or a mass shooting ... third...really? Just because you didn’t have the right info your protocol needed for the lead story?

You do NOT have to take receipts in Japan . . . all cashiers have a box next to the till that you (or the cashier) can place any receipts!

Feeling for the Loafers Lodge residents, that is absolutely horrible. They have lost so much and are displaced in a city that refuses to house people.
