Not unreasonable, just narrow-minded.

JeremyVile · 18/05/2007 10:46

....yet still more broad-minded than a Sun reader!

how totally outrageous - Dear Deidre is the most entertaining column in any paper

littleolwinedrinkerme · 18/05/2007 10:59

Well of course I don't know any Sun readers so possibly couldn't comment ....

AlistairSim · 18/05/2007 11:09

JeremyVile, you must be that mythical person who intimately knows every Sun reader on the planet! How fab and groovy for you.
Clearly I must bow down to your superior judgements.

we use the sun for running transplant stories. why? because its one of the most read newspapers in the country and cover health topics very well.

current article will be in the NOTW hopefully

It is a pile of poo and I flick through it in about 10 seconds flat and then tut. Dh buys it - he says for the sport, he LOL at Dear Deidre but it's probably for the t*ts.

Hey, at the same time, believe it or not, he's a pretty intelligent guy and knows far more about current affairs and the history behind things than I do. He reads widely though - not just The Sun.

DP buys The Sun as it's 15p and he has a long commute and likes the sudokos and the crosswords, now and again when bored I'll have a read, I hate the way nearly every story has to have a sexual slant on it. Also we have the Scottish Sun so you get the front page being some Scottish trivial story then inside you get a little bit of other real stories going on in the world. For instance frontpage headling would be "Naughty minister gropes blonde" inside in a tiny column "on by the way Australia sank into the sea yesterday"

We have the Sun, Daily Mail and Guardian in our work kitchen. It just about sums up the different strata. Mind you the Sun readers earn the most. And the Daily Mail annoys me the most.

IntergalacticWalrus · 18/05/2007 12:21

DP buys the Sun on occasion too. I actually quite enjoy reading it. I love the fact that they get on the moral highground on one page, and on the next they show tits. Marvellous.

DP hides it inside The Times though when he buys it. snobbo

hayes · 18/05/2007 12:23

no I just switch off/glaze over at snobs of any description

suzycreamcheese · 18/05/2007 21:56

hayes...
hey you must glaze for most of the day..everyone is snob nob about something...

Someone got on the train in Hove all suited and proceeded to read the daily mail. I must admit i was astonished, i thought it was a guardian town.
