My story in last week's edition, which referred to Denbighshire as 'Anwylshire' because of the amount of planning applications they've been successful with, has caused quite a stir.
We've received calls and e-mails from dozens of readers who feel Anwyl Construction is bullying the council into giving the green light to every request they make.
Being a journalist, readers often fail to grasp that the contents of a story are not the opinion of the writer, they are merely the facts and figures, usually bolstered by the comments of relevant parties.
However, I was quite amused this week when the company responsible for Anwyl's public relations sent me a press release headed: "County rewards top home-builder".
I assumed it was Anwyl and was quickly proved right, but then I discovered what the award was for - The Denbighshire Building Awards Volume Housebuilder of the Year!
Make of that what you will.
