    Re: What paper do you read?

    I never buy a paper. I will do when I go away for a week with my family in the summer as something to do whilst we're not doing much, but otherwise I prefer to just go online and browse from there. I would get the Cycling Weekly when The Tour was on though.

    I think the newspaper is a dying trade really. I remember a few lads at High School buying The Sun so everyone could crowd round behind the sportshall and look at the plastic girl on Pg3 and then read the sports pages, but I bet if I was to ask all of my similar aged friends if they buy a paper Id be able to count them on the fingers I have (Only 8 even though Im from Lancashire) and still have a few fingers left over.

    Whats all this anti Daily Mail stuff? Im sure I once heard that one/some of the papers are biased towards certain political parties? Is the Daily Mail perhaps one of these?

    You're right Al it's on its arse now especially the local and regional press. Another recession and there won't be much left :thunbdown:

    The Independent. I like the feel of newsprint in the morning.

    Mainly keep up to speed with the BBC website but if I read a paper it will be either the times or sun
