MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Just curious to get a snapshot of people's reading habits really, you can say why if you like but it's not important.
i normally pay for mine..........!
and when i do its the daily mail, i really bloody hate the paper and its standpoint but the puzzles are great
Observer on a Sunday. Nothing in the week.
The very first answer, from a Daily Mail reader... 😯
Metro, for me. Freeness :D!
I don’t take any newspapers as I’m frankly not that interested in what the owner/editor think nor do I need telling what to think
As for the celebrity obsessed tabloids – they are just the new opium for the people – keeps the plebs from realising quite how messed up this world is
gave up buying papers years ago now I just read the local free-one 'The Looe, Liskeard & Callington Gazzette' full of jam & Jerusalem WI stuff & no page 3 bird either 😥
i really bloody hate the paper and its standpoint but the puzzles are great
Hahaha, and Mussolini made the trains run on time.
🙂
Times on Saturday.
The freebie one that gets thrust in my hand everyday in Manchester for the rest of the week.
What newspaper do you take?
Lovely piece of English language. I think I'll try to use it more.
In response, none coz I'm abroad but the Grauniad or the Sunday Times when I'm back
Guardian about once a month!
Guardian when I bother
One closest to the door? 😆
sun/news of the world.
Guardian daily
Private Eye fortnightly
Prospect monthly
Economist once or twice a month.
Property week weekly
[i]Guardian[/i] on saturday. [i]Times[/i], occasionally.
Not as important as [i]Bike[/i], mind.

sun/news of the world
I take it you use these to wipe your arse 😉
Times for the REAL news
[i]Private Eye[/i] - ah yes.
The Sun - It's the bestest(IMO) for the footy
[i]The very first answer, from a Daily Mail reader... [8O]
Metro, for me. Freeness :D! [/i]
Thought Metro was owned by the same company that publishes the Daily Mail?
Metro for me as well
Grauniad of course! Plus Scotsman on a Friday, Sunday herald, Private eye, Bike - (the motorcycle one) Superbike
I read the mail, express, sun and evening news at work.
Private eye is the only one I buy these days, and it's more of a periodical I would say. I stopped buying daily newspapers around the same time as I aquired an internet connection.
For music needs "The Wire", and film etc "Little white lies".
Timesonline
Daily Mash
Bbc online
Independent, but not weekends when it's too far up it's own arse.
The Times Mon-Fri, Saturday Times, Sunday Times love newspapers so much better than Online news in general...still look at BBCnews site and Timesonline at a push....
all papers recycled, Local Govt housing related articles passed to fellow workers (they love me!!) sports sections passed on to loacl coach who takes articles out to encourage his rising sports stars!!!!
Grauniad or Times
Private Eye
Daily Mash
Economist/Prospect/New Statesman/Spectator depending on what's to hand
I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer Mr trailmonkey gave some moments ago.
Also Viz thrice yearly.
I'm with the Metro guys. Except I don't "take" it now I work from home.
I like how it just does the news, mostly straight from the PA feed, with no political slant and no comment pieces.
It's up there with The Sun and Daily Mail as a well-honed product, IMO.
Usually buy Guardian or Times when it's my own money though.
Guardian on Saturday (quite often) and Thursday (when I remember). Radio 4 gives me all the news so I skip that bit in the paper.
The Forester and the Forest of Dean & Wye Valley Review. Both local weeklys.
Don't bother with dailys, mostly keep up with the news via the radio.
The Times here.
Occasionally have a look at Metro (just recycled Daily Wail rubbish) and London Lite (recycled Evening Standard rubbish)
Cumberland and Westmorland Herald.........ooh ooh ooh just read the headlines and apparently Penrith is getting a music festival in the summer 😀
Guardian on a saturday.
Normally just read RSS feeds on NetNewsWire though - its good for getting all the different paper's slants on an issue. And the Daily Mail comments sections are a goldmine of unintentional (tragi)comedy.
Guardian a couple of times a week.
Yep, Guardian, though not daily, whenever but nearly always on a Saturday and The Observer is the only sunday paper for me.
Surprising number of Guardian readers - are all the torygraph and daily wail readers in hiding?
Any - Don't read em but they are handy for drying out wet cycling shoes.
The Times and the Telegraph when i go in the union shop (half price you see).
And The Sunday Times is the Sunday papers.
Guardian and the Observer but not very often. Also buy the local paper (Salisbury Journal).
Used to quite like the Times, but it's been murdered by Murdoch IMO. Seems to be the Sun but with more imaginative use of the dictionary.
Monday to Friday - the times and evening standard, occasionally FT
Saturday - the guardian
Sunday - sunday times
some of the time they end up in the recycling bin half read...
