Re: Newspapers
usually only if I'm going up to the city by train, then I buy a telegraph....pretty much just for the crossword.

Re: Newspapers
I have not bought a paper for 5-6yrs since I work on the trains so can get all of them free(thou' pre-read).The same goes for FHM,Maxim,T3.Mens health and the usual Zoo and Nuts mags.

Re: Newspapers
I have one delivered every day. Ironically the paper in question only offers an online subscription to people living outside the UK, otherwise I would be subscribing to an online version.

Re: Newspapers
I like to buy the Times on occasion, especially when I need to travel from Euston > Manchester and vice versa
Also buy Total Film and Empire each month, though I do not like the new layout Total have given the mag. Really I should subscribe...

Re: Newspapers
Almost daily, The Independant, nothing better for me on my lunchbreaks.

Re: Newspapers
Hi,
I buy a paper at least once a week: either The Times, The Guardian or The Independant. (Won't touch one of the red-top rags!  Far too chavvy, for my liking!)
I also try and get the Metro as often as possible. Despite having all the wonderful technology that we have nowadays, there's nothing better than reading something (book, newspaper or magazine) that doesn't require electricity to use it!  And how many of you, would be happy to sit and read something off your mobile, Blackberry or portable PC, whilst in the bath, or on the bog?!
I really do hope that printed media never dies out! If it does, it will be a very sad day indeed.
Pooch

Re: Newspapers
I'd be more inclined to buy a paper if they were half the size of what they currently are. It's just a pain in the arse.

Be careful of the supplements, many have staples.
