I've read pre-war papers and reprints of some, but post-war. And that

One of the GPO Telephone Students I had when I was teaching in Leamington
Spa, had in the past worked for Rowntrees, 'stiring chocolate for two whole
days' ;-))

I don't remember reading newspapers until after the war. I took (rather,
was given) the Children's Newspaper, and occasionally glanced at the Ole
Man's Daily Telegraph. (I don't think he was best pleased when I got
into crosswords, and when he was stumped, used to finish them for
him...)
