17 October (Part 1) - Reading between the loynes
Studying web statistics can become addictive. These were the top searches on Google that led to www.bexley-is-bonkers.co.uk
between midnight and 6 a.m. yesterday morning (Sunday). Alarmingly there were
several singleton enquiries all based on the words murder, Bexley and the date of
16th October. Sadly those searchers obviously knew of the events in Bexley village overnight.
(Three men were arrested yesterday evening.

But what’s with all this interest in
Chris Loynes? It started on 25th
September and there have been between four and a dozen such enquiries every day since then. Why
should a little known local government officer be the subject of so much interest?
Over the same period there have been even more searches for “Eva Read Bexley” which is even more surprising.
