Last time you bought a newspaper.

Our bedtime excitement these days extends only as far as attempting Saturday's Daily Mail crossword.

£1.60 a week. I don't even read the bleedin' thing.

Buy a paper everyday, my wife likes to do the crossword and puzzles in the mail as well.

Must be a out 10 years since we had The Evening Post delivered. It was shite anyway. On monday you only had about 4 sheets. They also got rid of the Motor post and property guide, and started charging too much.

I remember when the EP had a lonely hearts section, just in front of the pets for sale and behind the second hand electrical good section

Occasionally buy the Guardian on a Saturday plus the Racing Post.

Back in my early twenties, I would be in Adelaide Street waiting for first edition of the Evening Post to be first to the race for car adverts and private house sales (which are infrequent these days).

Sunday Sport 1992.

True Story this, my Cousin from Penclawdd was the Easter headline in the early 90's where he fed his pet hen (Becky) chocolate buttons and it was laying Creme Eggs.

I buy the Evening Post every Tuesday and Saturday. Before my Dad passed away last September we used to get vouchers which gave a small percentage off the charge. He used to like to read the obituaries. It's £2 a day now ffs.

Yes, that's true, 2 quid is a joke. And the funny thing is, if you make a digital subscription it's only a few quid a month, but of course, it's exactly the same as reading Swansea or Wales online, maybe the obituaries maybe a little clearer.

But I have set a sub up for digital SWEP a few year back,, and it's not very good on laptop.

Yeah it went to shit when it moved out of Bristol.

The only time I buy a paper is when I'm on the return journey back to Spain from Cardiff Airport. Always buy a copy of 'i' paper in WH Smiths in the departure lounge and while away an hour or two reading it and doing all the puzzles. The one I really like is the wheel with a letter in the middle and eight letters around the outside. You have to write down as many words of three letters or more as you can using the letters provided, and each word has to contain the central letter.
Next time I'll be doing it is April 20th, on my way back from Hull game. STID.

Nobody buys papers, so they can no longer afford to pay for a reporter to sit in on routine court cases, or council meetings. Any free papers now share content which is often advertising disguised as news, press releases from companies' PR depts, or pieces picked up from the Press Association, so the reporting of local news is on its way out.

Try an experiment. Buy a copy of your local paper if there is one. Tear out the pages with national news and national sport. Then tear out the pages with TV listings and TV articles. Then tear out the quiz pages and crosswords for Pegojack, and see how much is left.
