Who still buys them and is it according your politics or the type that has more pictures, sport etc, when I was in the world of work I had the Daily Mail but now it is more local types. |

I still buy the weekly local paper and once or twice a week the DM. Nothing to do with politics, I just find it more readable |

My sister in law had the telegraph because she thought some of the others were for common people that grew up on a council estate, she did and did her best to hide that fact. |

I read them all online - apart from the Sun and the Express, and those that want me to pay! |

Have sympathy for those unfortunates who cannot read. |

Hubby liked to have the Sunday newspapers so that was his ritual after breakfast to walk to the local shop to get them |

Because I like to read my paper over breakfast it needs to be readable so it is the daily Mail for me, with the Saturday Telegraph as well. |

'The Times' is my favourite. Quality articles & informative background details. |

Probably the problem with The Times was that we only saw it in the evening when it was bought home along with the evening paper, which by then was up to date with the news. |

We've had the Telegraph for years - not because we're posh tho! Apart from all the news and features we really enjoy their various puzzles - crosswords., sudoku etc and feel very jubilant when we actually solve them - but not every day unfortunately. |

bout 35 years ago we used to have the independent. In those days I was very much into photography and the photos in that paper were really excellent compared to other papers. |

OH buys a paper but only for the sport pages, don't know which he buys as I don't read them. We listen to the news on tv and I sometimes read on line news. |

I used to get the Telegraph several times per week but stopped during shielding/lockdown. Now I only get it on Saturdays. It does not reflect my or OH's politics, like Susie we enjoy the puzzles and crosswords. |

We have the Telegraph every day. It doesn’t necessarily reflect my politics or views, no one paper does, but I enjoy some of the features and like Kense and Susie I like the crosswords and other puzzles. |
