In public?!

Saw a woman reading it on the train today and it looked...odd.

you guardianista you!

I would read it if it was left on the train and I had nothing else to read but I wouldn't buy it

Would never buy it but look at the website Cheaper than buying hello etc

I don't really read one particular paper regularly (except Metro...and that's because it's free on the Tube ).

Of course I would, I'm not a snob! I don't care what people think of my reading matter, if they would judge me on the newspaper I have in my hand, I don't want to talk to them anyway

no nor do I (and apparently that is becoming more common - people used to be very loyal to a certain paper and it appears that is waning)

I would rather read the Sun than the Guardian.

would much rather read the Sun than the Mail too.

Overt as opposed to covert

Hmm, yes, think I agree with you there, Colditz!

I regularly read it. Why not? I wouldn't be ashamed to read it on the trian either.

I read it online, but they do teasers for the most gripping (ahem) stories and save the best bits for the paper, miserable gits (so I have to read those in the supermarket )

I love reading the Mail when it's left around - it's so sensationalist that it actually makes me laugh. It's great fun to see how far you can get into the paper before being warned that you are about to die from using deodorant/eating lettuce/letting your kids have red smarties etc.

Is he a baaaaaaad man? I still like The Times though, especially T2 for fashion stuff and recipes.

If it's lying around, but it only takes a couple of minutes so word for word that I'm interested in represents poor value
