I used to have a tabloid, but Germoline cured it.

We prefer a broad sheet paper because it fits our Guinea Pig hutch better than the tabloids. [and what the pigs do to it should be done to most newspapers]
Currently we get the Yorkie Post (and do the crosswords), because we've got money off vouchers for it.
[ We have to save the pennies for decorating our new/old house. ]
Some Saturdays we get the Daily Excess, but only for the TV Guide. (and the quiz pages)
Sometimes we get the 'Ull Daily Mail, but it's rubbish. [We only get it for the give-aways]

Guardian weekdays, New Statesman Fridays and sometimes the Observer at weekends.
I wouldn't wipe my fundament with the Mail, Express or the red-tops (and I've worked for most of 'em), and while the Telegraph is amazingly comprehensive, I find its features and op-ed pages merely get me ranting and muttering "Oh, for goodness'sake!" at their twee middle-classness and Europhobia.
A win double for the Telegraph would be "How an evil Brussels dictact will double the cost of keeping a pony and force you to pay your nanny the minimum wage".

British wisdom regarding London's eight daily newspapers.

THE TIMES; Read by people who run the country.
THE MIRROR; Read by people who think they run the country.
THE GUARDIAN; Read by people who think they ought to run the country.
THE STAR; Read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country.
THE MAIL; Read by the wives of the people who run the country.
THE EXPRESS; Read by people who think the country ought to be run as it used to be.
THE TELEGRAPH; Read by people who still think it is.
THE SUN; Read by people who don't care who runs the country provided she has big tits.

Cheers Bill

That's the Morning Star, of course, not the Daily Star!

Hey, McGrath, can you actually do the Guardian crossword? I can often finish the Saturday's Telegraph by the following Saturday (if my wife joins in, it's "usually" rathern than "often"). There's a chap I see in the pub who's recently been made redundant & now spends most of the day doing the Guardian Xwd: he's usually got somewhere between 2 & 6 left undone by the evening & sometimes I'll "help" him: but I am almost always unable to do any, and even the ones he's done I frequently need explaining. So if you can do it, you go up (were that possible!) in my estimation.
