THIS week's Croydon Advertiser has hit the shops today - and it's an edition packed with local news and sport.
We have been made aware that a malicious third party has been calling newsagents, urging them to remove our papers from sale - but would like to stress that these calls are not coming from us.
The paper is still for sale and includes an exclusive interview with Margaret Thatcher's former press secretary Sir Bernard Ingham, who tells of his time working for the Iron Lady, who died earlier this week, while there is also an update on the future of the IYLO building - dubbed Croydon's biggest white elephant.
There are also plenty of quirky tales, including the randy duck proving a hit with the birds in Old Coulsdon and a Kenley man's bid to get his musical about the life and times of Princess Diana onto the West End stage.
In sport, we have interviews with Crystal Palace stars Joel Ward and Owen Garvan, while also previewing tomorrow's clash with Ipswich Town.
And there's even a chance for Advertiser readers to name Croydon's newest beer, courtesy of the Cronx brewery.
Advertiser editor Glenn Ebrey said: "Someone appears to have it in for us and is trying to get our papers taken off the shelves, but I'm very keen to make all Croydon vendors aware that these calls are not coming from us.
"There is no issue with the paper - legal or otherwise - and it continues to be on sale throughout Croydon this week. What's more, it's a cracking read."
