³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

Ed's away for the day and has, very efficiently , already posted the Glass Box for today's programme even though it's far too early yet for us to even know if we'll turn up this afternoon - the running order is, in the parlance, "a work in progress".

We might be doing a little more on Northern Rock returning to mortgage lending and the Prime Minister's call for a return to prudent practice. Made me wonder what you might make of this if you're a former building society or bank manager yourself who used to do things "the old fashioned way". Let us know if you have any memories of the way things used to be done i.e. saving up a deposit and making that nervous appointment with the bank manager. If you were a manager, how many people did you have to disappoint?

The fact that everyone in this office is looking unusually clean and shiny has nothing to do with the fact that PM's new Editor started this morning. You may remember Peter Rippon moved to Newsnight ? He's been replaced by Jo Carr, who many moons ago was a producer on PM/Wato and has returned at the helm of PM, IPM and BH. We'll make her pose for a photo later.

Eddie's absence has nothing to do with Jo's arrival either.
