Getting thrown out of rooms is something of an occupational hazard in my line of work.
It's all because of the 1972 Local Government Act.
The legislation allows public bodies such as local councils to exclude the press and public from meetings when certain types of information is likely to be disclosed.
Such an occasion arose at a recent meeting of the Humber Bridge Board, when a report titled Commercialisation And Efficiencies was up for discussion.
After reading the recently published minutes of the meeting, it seems I missed a treat.
"The clerk firstly apologised if the wording in the report, which summarised his meeting with the four council economic development officers, had upset or offended anyone as this was not his intention," says the minute in question.
Later on, there is even more confusion over a decision to appoint local PR firm Bluestorm to manage communications over the work to install a new tolling system on the bridge.
It seems the board were unaware that Bluestorm had even been appointed and weren't made aware of a press release issued about the new tolling system.
It turns out the appointment was actually made by contractors Arup.
According to the minutes, it was agreed the board "revises the communications strategy to ensure it is controlled by the board and that board members are aware of all communications prior to publication."
Traffic levels might be increasing but it seems so is the fog over who is in charge on the bridge.
