Steve I loved the Evening Standard there was a junior crossword in it and cartoons i think. My dad used to bring it back from London every night and I think there were other puzzles as well. Comedians used to imitate the newspaper boys shouting Evening Standard as it used to come out rather like "evenin' staddurd" Actually, it was 'noos n staddard' :) -- Pete C |

No it was the Post Evening or morning? or last? It's the last post for ALL newspapers, as we know them. Soon all be web based? Baz |

Steve Give it a few years and the adverts will disappear, or give the reader an option not to see them. It HAS to come. Ultimatly the newspaper will die anyway, I think in one generation. The technology is so advanced, and getting more advanced by the day. Baz |

Baz I use Chrome with the AdBlock extension so I already have the option to not show adverts. Unfortunately a lot of web pages cannot be viewed until an advert is watched. That is the type of web page I leave without viewing. I'm the same with TV. I don't watch anything that tries to force adverts on me! Steve |

If a person wants advertisements it is up to that person to ask for them. A bit like Googling for a product. It WILL come, I am sure of that. Baz |
