Oh dear! and I used to have such great respect for you, Sacha :) I only buy the Daily Mail for the codeword, a friend of mine introduced me to them a long time ago and I've been hooked on them ever since, if I don't get my daily fix, I cannot sleep at night! There are a couple of the correspondents I usually read as well! Alan |

Ah the old 'crossword defence'. Won't wash, Alan. I buy the Torygraph books of crosswords but would sooner stick pins in my eyes than buy the paper :) Has the Mail yet finished its great ontological quest to divide everything in the world into things that either cause or prevent cancer? |

I have not found that regularly reading the Telegraph (though I never actually buy it) has made me vote Tory, and if anything I find myself even more of a zealot for liberal views in recent times. I do read it as "entertainment", and for intelligence on what the Tories are thinking. I look elsewhere to discover accurate information on news that is important, and for present liberal thinking.

It wen down significantly when Roy Brookes died (now there's a poser - who was he?) |

Certainly not. If it did, it would no longer be able to brand something a cause one week and a cure the next. How do you confuse the editor of the DM?
