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"

Many people, including me, prefer to read newspapers. Because of their
size newspapers get away with mixing items on a page that even adverts
survive. There's no way that I would stay on a web page that forced
adverts on me.

Or even pasting it on the walls to save wallpaper when decorating. I'm
sure I've seen that somewhere.

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.

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!
