Oooo... do I get first go then?

Nationals... The Times, occasionally Telegraph or Indie
Locally... Sheffield Telegraph, occasionally Yorkshire Post, sometimes blag a Star.
Sundays...Sunday Times, Sunday Telegraph,
Sometimes... FT and Sunday Business

Struggle to keep up with the gossip in the red tops, but thankfully I gave up reading IZAL a few years ago :D

I don't read any newspapers.

We have the Sunday Mirror delivered which seems to amuse my wife for the latter part of the weekend. I do glance though the sport's sectionat the football results and then flick through the mag if to see if there are any pictures of tasty birds.

Actually, I was an avid fan of the Mirror once-upon-a-time, but it got crappy so I stopped buying it.

These days I prefer Viz. It's more truthful.

For myself

The Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ ) in the working week.

At weekends I read the local paper from where I grew up. :)

I read the Metro, because it's free and I can read it quickly before starting work.

Then at lunchtime I read whatever's been left in the staffroom.

Then on the way home I sometimes get a Star.

Get the Sheffield Telegraph on a Friday, a mini-tabloid sized Independent if I'm not working or am starting work late, and an Observer on a Sunday!

I read the Gruniad on line because it actually reports the facts behind the news. I also read the Torygraph and Times on line for the same reason and it's nice to see the news from a different perspective.

Buy the Sheffield Star so I can keep up with what's going on in the city and The Observer on Sunday as it's a good read, balanced and more independant than The Independant.

I read the Telegraph most days. I also read the Star to keep up to date with local news and also the Sheffield Telegraph, for the same reason. I occasionally read the Times.
