Newspaper or internet?

BBC News app/website and Twitter feed.

We get the local newspapers delivered daily. Arrived between 5-6am each morning.

Cheaper than buying in a shop too as you get a 20p discount per paper getting it delivered compared to buying it in a supermarket or shop and even points, the points can be used to get things and everyone gets entered into a competition each week to get holidays and hampers. My neighbours won a pamper once.

I also look it up online for stuff happening out of town.

Hmmmm pampers or you mean hampers?

Yes😅 It’s mostly food/drink ones although the recent one was outdoor kids toys so great for some family’s during the holidays.

We mostly get them as it’s 20p cheaper and saves us going out rather than the competitions. So saves money and helps with my laziness.

Thanks for this. I signed up to PressReader with my library card. Very smooth. You have to resign in every 30 days but doesn’t take longer (and not sure I will use it every 30 days if honest but a nice to have)

Call me old fashioned but you can’t beat reading a newspaper. Don’t mind a broadsheet - folding works well with a few years practicing.
I remember delivering the Sunday times in early to mid nineties- how I hated people with small letterboxes - having to separate different sections.

In Greece at moment and the FT weekend was on sale by 2pm Friday.
Possibly this is a spectacular early edition?

The thing I really dislike about Apple News is that when you block a news source that you really don’t want to see, it still puts the articles from there on your news feed and just says “You blocked this news source” across it. Just don’t show it at all!
