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"

They obviously only ever heard the eloquent ones. It always sounded to
me like "E'ee'n Sta'ard". Makes one wonder who Ian Stard is.

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.

Local newspapers are fantastic, I have 1350 on my computer and the response
from them is superb. The advantage of 'the printed word' is that it is
still there days/weeks later, whereas an article on the radio is forgotten
just as soon as the next article comes on.
