Which free paper do you make a habit of grabbing? (and why if you want)

we don't get anything for free in bonny scotland - certainly not a paper worth reading :nope:

I grab the Lite for three reasons..

It has a little snippet about SUFC (Ok, its uauly 3 days old and lifted from the OS, but the London paper doesnt even bother with us!)

the text column

and its printed with ink that doesnt come off on your hands :p

Seconded - all three!

I read City AM in the morning because it is about as much business information as I want to digest each day plus it isn't full of celebrity related borax.

I also felt compelled to read Cityboy in The London Paper for some reason despite thinking the author was a vanden plas stroker.

Edit: Note to self, read posts properly :D

Lite is basically Daily Mail in easy to read format. But then the London Paper is a Murdoch rag.

So, I get both. And I agree with Davros' arguments. Especially the texts column

 

[Napster]

How about Metro? That still going?

yes, and it's just OK.

 

[The Flying Scotsman]

Neither. I finish off reading the Times. Sports & Business for the journey in, News and Supplement for the journey home.

Its all about the London Lite! For all three reasons that Dave mentioned! I even have a selected distributor that I always get from too! I find the London Paper ones try and Karate chop you with a paper if they already see you carrying a Lite.

Text column is great. I have had 3 texts in one week go into the Lite and Bitter sports section a month or two ago about women in football if anyone say them?!

I had a comment about the Owl man printed in the Evening Echo.

Lite and London Paper for me. Both are usually flicked through only though. Out of the two I prefer Lite which is odd because I can't stand the sister papers The Mail & The Standard and opt for The Times on the way in to work, which is a sister paper of The London Paper.

What a crazy world!

Apart from the business bit, that's exactly what I do. I've only got a 15 minute tube journey to work anyway.

If I were to grab one, it'd probably be Lite first as that's got 'The Far Side'. I have been known to text in to their sports chat bit when I've had a beer or two as well...

I prefer the London Lite but have to put up with The London Paper since I moved to Canary Wharf as the Lite isn't distributed here.
