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

Cheers ............K

Facebook and its kindred guff is absolutely no use for lighting the fire in the morning, so real papers will always have a certain demand even if the news is yesteday's.

I do wonder about the so called "News" on some websites when they give a date along with the story which is a few days ago.  That is "Olds" to me.  Does getting a degree in journalism no longer include knowing the meaning of words?

I buy the Sunday Express every week just to get the General Knowledge Crossword - several years ago they raised the prize to £1000 and made the clues easier, which tells me that the management know that lots of people only buy the paper for the crossword now!

When I am on motor home trips I treat myself to the Daily Express each day to get the crosswords and puzzles to do - and paper to protect the carpets on rainy days!

If you like GK crosswords the Telegraph on Saturday has a good one and on the last Saturday of the month has an extra jumbo GK with some cryptic clues to add to the mix, no £1000 prizes though , £500 for the jumbo and a pen for the normal Saturday

Haha you're having a larf, very funny!

I sometimes read the 'I' in the local garden centre coffee shop and buy the Times now and again but never at weekends - too much bumpf.

I have bought a newspaper everyday for the last 40 years and continue to do so even though I now live in a fairly remote place. The newspaper deliverer only come to my nearest neighbour ( half a mile away) so I get a walk every morning.

I don't understand people not getting a paper. I believe all media outlets are biased but at least with a news paper you are choosing the direction of the bias.

Guess what paper I get?

As you do not offer any clues, I will go by the amount of a certain paper that is ordered by site visitors, and certainly seems popular with CT members
