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!

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.

Ah, a whinging Guardian reader

Never heard of the "Guardian". Do you mean the "Gaurdien" by any
chance?

I used to get the Sunday Times every week but stopped because I never
got round to reading it. 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?

I ratted on the Grauniad and read the Indy instead. A rare case of a
rat boarding a sinking ship.

Roy Brookes! Ah, those were the days, when the country held an honest
estate agent.

I used to love his descriptions, "Who in their right mind would want to buy
this damp and dingy basement flat"

Loved him ;-))

Hmmmmm- I know which paper has the higher readership figures, though. ;-)

Are you going to put us all out of our misery and tell us, please?
