I used to buy a paper daily but haven't bought one for a few years.

You mean a physical copy?

I access newspaper websites daily.

Yea like going into a shop and carrying out a paper.

Used to every day, 5 on a Sunday.
Stopped about 16-17 years ago and haven't bought one since. Not missed, I could write (make up) most of the stories myself.
Helps you think more clearly if you avoid them.

Buy one on Saturdays.
Having binned Sky, I don't have access to an EPG so an old-fashioned TV Guide comes in handy.

I used to be a newspaper junkie, progressing from the Daily Mirror to The Guardian, and then the broadsheet Independent.

Now occasionally get the i on a Saturday.

Still miss the Liverpool Daily Post , good on the Blues coverage.

Sad, but newspapers will be gone in a few years.

Last bought a paper in 1987 while isolated alone and bored in a 6 week mapping exercise. Couldn't believe the absolute tripe in it. From what I've seen since they've done the exact opposite of improve.

Used to get a Daily Mirror everyday, then it became just every Sunday so I could read it with my fry-up (pretty much a ritual) but I've not bought one in about 8/9 years I reckon.

If I see anyone with a paper in the street nowadays especially if it's rolled up I just assume they're undercover and leave the immediate vicinity.

Not for a very long time. Closest is browsing the local paper in the café round the corner.

Recall the last time I brought paper I was on holiday and the phone signal was crap. Wanted something to read. Felt like such an indulgence taking up loads of room with my broadsheet.

Was great. Proper "Sniff it you lowbrow and lost looking tiktok fiends" for a day.

Not necessarily.

Think both the Mail and the S** have been run at a massive loss over the past decade just as a means of connecting with a certain demographic.

Can’t beat a paper and a couple of pints in the pub on your tod.

If there’s footy on, it’s possibly one of the finest ways to spend a few hours alone.

Me and a few mates had a routine re attempting the Gruniad crossword, in The Salutation, after the match.

We had a good team then as well.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Buy a paper religiously 6 times per week and would also do on a Sunday if it had an edition.

I buy one every day. I have a coal fire and rely on it in the winter and newspaper is key.
