I for one will miss it, read it most weekdays.
Smallman1 can’t you just read it online instead? I can’t remember the last time I read a physical newspaper.
I like the tangible feel of it Rich.
Smallman1 you still buy jazz mags too?
Quite Boomer-ish Smallman
Analogue man in a digital world me Morty.
Love newspapers. It’s a luxury reading the Sunday Times and all its sections. Spend far too much time on screens as it is.
alistair had one down as The Telegraph through and through Al.
At least we can rest assured Ed is not one of the melts who scrolls through TikTok on loudspeaker, on the train.
Viva la journal!
Metro on the way to bizzing the tranz and the Standard on the way back.
How I roll!
The Evening Standard is a shambles - losing £18m a year and even at its peak in the early 90s is was losing £12m. A vanity project.
Along_the_Wire I concur. Refuse to take it even when it was thrust into my hands at the tube station.
Was never the same since Fay Maschler left.
Millsy not what it was, still better than The Observer though. I did used to quite like Music Monthly though lol
Can we give it its proper title please Millsy.
The TORYgraph.
Invite en route.
Just imagining Smallman doing analogue biz trans on a rotary phone, neck caught up in the cord.
bosstrabs 😂
Like a Helter Skelter
