Geordie wearing no trousers...

You can never take the rascal reporter out of the editors.

As I speak, regional editors across Britain belonging to Trinity Mirror are engaged in a phone conference.

As the conference machine introduced us all, there was much mirth.

"in our office, you're all on camera," I joked. "Best put me trousers back on then," replied Geordie Paul Robertson.

"Marc Reeves stuffing his face with sausage sandwich present and correct," The Birmingham Post editor announced.

"Alastair Machray and Mark Thomas," announced the Liverpool contingent, strait-laced. "Sounds like a folk group," quipped Tony Lennox, Midlands Weekly editorial director.

I'd best concentrate on the phone conference content for a bit now...
