Newspapers

We no longer bother with newspapers as it seems they prefer lying sensational headlines and like to twist the facts to suit the reporters agenda!

You may have a point. The only time I read a newspaper is when travelling on a long train, or at breakfast in a hotel on my own and both times it is for something to do rather than the paper itself.

For news I just use the BBC website.

Post edit, actually I usually by a local paper when staying away in the caravan, they are usually more interesting than nationals

We used to read the Independent from cover to cover, then took Guardian, but fell out with that a few years ago. We switched to taking only Saturday Yorkshire Post a couple of years ago, but found we just didn’t read all that either, mind we shall possibly still get a couple a month in Winter as we use it for lighting stove😂

Not keen at all on TV BBC news, or ITV. We watch Channel Four news, hour long, some good in-depth reports, and their journalists and presenters don’t half get stuck in to politicians etc.....

BBC News website seems full of back dated articles that seem to reappear every few months. 

... that seem to reappear every few months.

just like CT? 

actually to be fair, CT does it every few years

" It's usually a weekend treat or when I get a free Guardian in Waitrose once a week."

presumably no one ever pays for these.... 

There are certain printed newspapers that hint at a sense of grubby voyeurism, however I personally didn’t have the Guardian in this category............😂 Most consist of a three or four letter name so as not to overtax their readers........

On one site we went to their 'shop' contained only a few caravanning necessities and Calor gas. The explanation given was it wouldn't have been fair to the locals and the village shop to compete with their livelihood. Makes community spirited sence to support them I reckon!

Electronic stuff is rubbish !

Have you ever tried having a snooze on your recliner with an iPad on your face ??

Can't do without my i. Guess I'm just old fashioned.

Have to have it every day we're in the UK ( except Sunday). Find it a quite impartial newspaper. rare of Hens teeth these days. Plus I love Cryptic Crosswords and theirs is a good one with a few different Setters (Moulesy will like that one) to keep you on your toes. I can't be doing with digital crosswords. 

Met a fellow newspaper buyer in the village shop today. He was buying The Daily Mirror. I asked him if they still had Andy Capp in it. Yes he replied and showed me. Haven't seen that cartoon for ages. My father always bought that paper. Mrs WN and I went to the theatre in Manchester many moons ago to see a play about Andy Capp. Think Tom Courtenay played him. Can't remember who played Flo though. Ah, memories eh?

There was one site that had a similar situation. The wardens said it was an agreement that they could only sell caravan related stuff that the local shops didn't sell. This was in Melrose and as the local shops were only literally few minutes walk away I could see the point.
