One thing I've discovered about our website is that it's a great market research tool.
At the touch of a button, I can find out which stories are the most popular and, in theory, what sort of stuff you all like to read.
Here are our top five most read stories of the past seven days.
1. Mum's fury as police refuse to send missing girl home
2. My wife is hot, boasts council leader
3. Tributes paid to a loving father
4. Breast-flashing mum dumped toddler in road
5. Tragic teen loses legs to rare disease
Notice the entry at number 2. This story was derided by a few contributors (see below) but it got more hits than any other story on our website bar one.
Newspapers are often accused of dumbing down and going for a sensationalist angle but, as this case proves, a lot of you seem to like a bit of light relief now and again.
