I buy one on the days I go out. I prefer the real thing much as I prefer a proper book to a Kindle.

We have 2 delivered every day. DH used to go to the village shop every morning but that stopped during covid. Ours come from the next but one village - the nearest shop to deliver.

Not for years and years probably about 45 years when I used to have a daily delivery

DH buts a newspaper every day bar Sunday!

Ive neither bought nor read a newspaper for years.

I do catch up on all news though using a number of different news sites.

I used to get The Guardian on Saturdays when it was free at Waitrose but not since. I can’t say I’ve missed it.

We have The Sunday Times. Occasionally o/h will bring back The I. I've recenttly taken up an offer with The Independent, 6 months for a £1.

Our local newsagent delivers my paper every day.

Buy one every day. My morning pleasure is paper and a cuppa and breakfast!

Moi.

Long live The Guardian!

We haven’t come across any newsagents who deliver papers for years. We buy a daily paper if we are in the village, so not regularly. DH drives to get two Sunday papers, every weekend.

Interested to know who buys a print copy or digital access to a newspaper. I’ve been relying on free digital access to the BBC and the Guardian but think it’s time I put my hand in my pocket (as if we’re.)

I love the idea of getting a paper delivered but it’s expensive compared to
digital access. But there really is something about reading the print copy of a newspaper.
