Newspapers

Haven't read a news paper or the electronic version in years. Always rely on TV news or the BBC website for the news. You can be much more selective as to what you read using the latter source and it takes much less time. I also get breaking news on my phone.

If I miss anything about printed papers it’s the cartoons. Dad usually read Daily Express, so I grew up with Rupert Bear and The Perishers. Then of course there was Giles, I have quite a collection of Giles Annuals. Steve Bell of the Guardian is a superb political cartoonist.

Anyone remember Oor Wullie? Saw him in Edinbrough a few weeks ago.  You could put him on your bucket list.😉

"I nivver get ony fun roond here!"😜

following on from this:

The world's largest education publisher has taken the first step towards phasing out print books by making all its learning resources "digital first".

Pearson said students would only be able to rent physical textbooks from now on, and they would be updated much less frequently

The British firm hopes the move will make more students buy its e-textbooks which are updated continually.

(A lot of schools textbooks are from Pearson's)

That's interesting, maybe the next generations are already being facilitated by us in the way that ever changing knowledge is passed on! 

Oh, the mind boggles!

I get a Times on Saturday, like others for the TV schedules. Given the time constraints, it usually takes me a few days to read all the various sections.

I get the the TV schedules from the Radio Times on line and also the TV program guide.

We get The Sunday Times (free with my Booths card when I shop - always on Sunday). It usually lasts all week and in winter is used to light the fire.

I read The Guardian online - it’s free, no subscription .

And when we’re away my husband like to get a paper if we pass a newsagent. He’s just driven off from New England Bay to Drummore three miles away. Too wet to do anything else!

We must be a right odd balls.  We get the Yorkshire Post, (purchased with vouchers), delivered daily, the Radio Times (because my grandma had it) and the Peoples Friend ( not a skirt above the knee) all delivered by a young lady at 6:15 am before she goes to school. Mrs Grimshaw reads every word and does the cross word. I scan them. Much the same on holiday, take vouchers if in Yorkshire otherwise Daily Mail. Long live, newsagents, paper boys & girls and and the Christmas box.

I'd bet that Xmas box goes toward the very latest XBox or iPhone!
