.. other than by a newsagent/shop? My mum’s nearest shop (4.5 miles away!) has decided her house is too far to deliver to. As Mum is 93, and not that good on her legs these days, she isn’t really able to go and buy one every day.
Is it possible to get newspapers posted? Or any other ideas? There must be some way for country folk to get a paper?

Does she gave internet? 😉

She’s not really got to grips with t’interweb, unfortunately!

Do the newspapers themselves not do a posted subscription delivery service?
Yup, here you go:

If she reads the telegraph (I think it is or maybe the times) and can handle a tablet, she could get a free nexus 7 with a 12 month digital subscription.

I think they still come via a shop as it says price “does not include home delivery service”. 🙁
And the same on the magazine subscriptions linky 🙁

Buy one everyday, and post it – does it really matter if she is reading todays or yesterdays?

Yesterdays news…… 🙄
