Do you still buy the paper?

My gf and I bought 14 Sun Newspapers within a space of 1 week, not to read, but for the free alton towers tickets :D

However, It did find some good use, because we needed to pack quite a few plates and glasses, so it served us very well...
 
Stopped buying papers daily a while ago, usually get a Times on a Monday for the weekends sports writeups and always the Observer on Sunday. Sunday's without a newspaper feels wrong.
 
I read them when on holiday but tbh it's a dissapointing experience - there's no more than half an hour reading in any of the dailys and not much more worth reading in the sunday papers.

Maybe I expect too much but a little more content and a few less adverts, pictures and half page headlines would make it something worth paying for more regularly.

There are a **** ton of advertisements in papers.
 
For the record, I subscribe to the Economist and I get my news from various news websites throughout the week. If I do buy a paper it'll be the Times.

Don't think of it as a demand.. think of it as a kind request and you'll see the light... You will see, that it is still a free society..

You are basically using the same arguement as saying "Why is there such a law against smacking someone in the nose when I get offended?", I mean, as I believe myself, I feel that I should have the right/freedom to give someone a good smack if I feel that the person has offended me to quite a high level...

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Try reading what you've said again.
 
Used to read the Independent but eventually found it too whiny, would read the Guardian but find it difficult to read properly, it being so big :) Not interested in any of the others (either because they're Murdoch papers, tabloids, Torygraphs or the Daily Mail). Would happily pay a subscription to Guardian online though.
