OT TV sound
wrote in message ... In article , Sacha wrote: I read the Daily Mail every day, salt cellar in hand. And I know quite a few others here do, too. I also read the Daily Telegraph, the Mid Devon Advertiser, the Totnes Times, Country Life and The Lady (unexpectedly excellent magazine now, for those who haven't seen it in years) The Oldie and if totally desperate Aircraft. It's a big Shavian-style mistake to judge people on the papers they read. I'm sure you and others, have been open to manipulation in your time. Most of us have, even if we didn't recognise it as such when it was happening. I was judging the paper, and a regrettable number of its readers, not all of its readers! The Lady used to be far better than it was given credit for, and some really quite good writers used to publish occasional articles in it. Country Life is a bit tedious, but quite often has one or two interesting articles. What amuses me is the number of people who inveigh against the DM but who must, surely, read it to be so confident in their opinions? ;-) It's available in the waiting room where I go for my blood pressure trial appointments. Usual experience is several gross and obvious falsehoods, invented to support its bigotry, but nothing either interesting or informative. Then I either give up or get called in. Now, if they still had Flook :-) Regards, Nick Maclaren. Has Flook gone? :-(( I remember his arrival! Late 1940's? Very early 1950's? Daily Mail, Daily Mirror, Daily Telegraph were some of the newspapers we provided in our Hotel Lounge for the Visitors. Daily Sketch as well I believe. Certainly not The Sun ;-) Mike -- .................................... I'm an Angel, honest ! The horns are there just to keep the halo straight. .................................... |
