haha if someones willing to buy a proper newspaper for me every day and give it to me as i'm stepping on the bus, i'm all for reading it!

Cheapskate!

you mean people happily pay to read bullshit???

Or...

buy a book and expand your mind. The London Shite was brain-rotting drivel.

well said trotsky, was just a massive celeb gossip rag, in fact FUCK the london lite, rest in pieces

ain't the standard gonna be given away for free soon.

ok cos newspapers like the sun aint??? fair enough it was mostly shite, but it didnt charge you, and neither did it ever lead you to believe in it...

when did I say the sun wasn't?

but yeah fair play it was free, and it didn't lead you into believing in it, but at the same time as this, it would have been nice if the majority had been actual news rather than celebrity goss - for example, the london paper, whilst not a pinnacle of good journalism, gave you a good outline of current events everyday and is also totally free

Read newspapers website/the BBC/indymedia websites at my desk.

Read a book on the tube.

Watch C4/BBC News at home or in the gym on TV.




That's plenty enough to get my daily dose of current affairs.

Hah yeh I'm not exactly mourning the death of the lite per se, just the end of widely distributed free paper. I do agree the london paper was a higher quality newspaper but that gave up the ghost week ago...
And trotsky yeh fair enough but you don't always want to carry a book with you wheever you go...it was quite convenient to get on the bus or tube and generally have something to browse to hand.

inb4 metro, its always gone by the time I'm awake

fuck free papers like this, such a massive waste of resources- most people scan them for a couple of minutes then chuck them in the bin, i was amazed at the state of the streets in london around where their distributors were....plus the journalism is no better than the average sixth former could churn out

evening standard is a shite paper tho

Only free paper worth reading is the metro. Right on, fuck the London Lite. At least the Sun has puns and shit.

they give it out in the most random places...first time i got given one was outside mornington crescent station?!

I do this worryingly often, but I sometimes take the 'long' route home on the tube rather than the 'short-cut' route (that involves a couple of changes) if I'm at an interesting part of a book just so I can read it for longer.


Hold tight geek massive.
