Following the 3p almost 10% price hike of a star, is our very own city conscience in print still a worthwhile good read or a waste of money and paper? Should you just wait for the weekly digest that is the telegraph what with its free political propaganda section? (letters page ;) )

Wouldn't wipe me bwutt on it, as its allready full of. . .

On a more constructive level, I'd rather read the metro.
At least with the metro, you haven't paid to read drivvel. . .

Oh no! A whole 3p?

Paper is still surprisingly expensive, and I think the Star's been the same price for aaaaages.

Saying that... I only ever read the jobs section.....

According to the newsagent at Richmond, the paper hasn't gone up in price since 2000.

The advertising costs however have... an average of 10% a year since 2000!

My company (recruitment) used to regularly advertise in the paper but at almost £10 a line in the recruitment lineage section we now ususlly advertise online.

i dont know what you want for 35p i think it is good value for money despite it going up in price :D

hey, 35p is CHEAP! there's only THE SUN wot's cheaper!

and you don't have to mess about with tuppences anymore!

reminds me of when concessionairy bus fares went up to 40p... a few people said it was better 'cos there was no messing about with them little 5p's!:)
