Does anybody buy a printed newspaper nowadays.

While my wife was supermarket shopping today I strolled over to the news stands.  As I was having a look at what was on offer, I was surprised at how many people were standing there reading the newspapers. I never buy printed newspapers as they are telling yesterday's news,----But I did notice however that of all the titles, the Daily Mail were the only ones being taken to the cash desk and paid for.. So I had a quick read at the Mail myself and was impressed by their sense of propriety and the evenhandedness of their investigative reporting.  I can see why the Daily Mail is the country's most popular newspaper among the intelligent honest British people. 

P.S. I still didnt buy it. Wink

We get a Sunday paper (Sunday Times) free when we shop at Booths (obviously only on a Sunday). I know the news is not as up to date at the Internet, but I read it over several days then us it to light the fire. Multi purpose.

And we buy two farming weeklies.

Weve not bought a newspaper for well over 30 years, even then it was only the local rag.. now defunct.

We have the Times, Monday to Friday and the Mail on Saturday because it has the best TV supplement.  Don't bother on Sunday, the Sunday Times is just too big and the Mail on Sunday rubbish!

Buy The Times on Saturday and OH occasionally treats herself to The Mail. As if I'm not enough! Makes me feel a bit insecure. wink

For many years my parents only ever bought a newspaper on a Sunday.

This was because it provided enough paper to light the fire for the rest of the week! It was my job to separate the pages and then roll them up and knot them ready for use.

I only read the paper occasionally but my wife gets very anxious without her daily fix and this includes on holiday but she can be calmed slightly if an online version is available.

I read the Times in the dentist this morning. I read the DM at the hairdressers every now and then (the only place for it laughing.) The is the only paper I buy frequently, every Saturday and when on holiday. I also like local papers so will also buy them when staying in different places. I like newspapers but I don't like the bias a few attempt to inflict on some gullible readers.

Usually get my free Guardian when we go shopping in Waitrose and will sometimes buy a copy if I think I have enough time to read it in depth. The weekend versions take days to read!!!

I gave up buying newspapers a very long time ago. (except the financial times hubby has once a week)  The only thing I now find the online newspapers are similar , but if you quote one on here or even mention a news article ,your blasted and told nothing is true and they only print trash.  So why do we bother in print or online undecided
