Please answer the following questions - please post once only. And do not comment so as to deter Daily Mail readers.

  1. Which paper do you mostly read Mon-Fri?

  2. Which Sunday paper do you read mostly?

Please answer with one paper. No pretending - if you feel you should answer Guardian and Observer but in reality read the Daily Mail and News of the World, please namechange and answer truthfully.

  1. Usually nothing. Watch TV news and look at BBC online. If I do get a paper it would be The Guardian or The Times depending on front page.

  2. The Observer or sometimes another broadsheet if it breaks an interesting story (e.g. last week I read The Sunday Times as it broke the cash for amendments scandal).

  1. None
  2. None

Very occasionally buy the Times if I feel the urge to read a real paper. Have RSS feeds for the BBC News site and TimesOnline but only really skim them to be fair, unless something catches my eye.

twinsetandpearls · 31/01/2009 20:04

Although when I take dd for a coffee and cake one of the cafes have a Daily Mail out and I will glance at it. I do wash my hands afterwards though/

Wallace · 31/01/2009 20:13
  1. None
  2. None

However I do read a Saturday paper. The Guardian, and it takes me all week to read it

tumtumtetum · 31/01/2009 20:14

Rarely buy a paper. If I do.

  1. Independent
  2. Indepedent as well but it's been about twice ever.

Read the metro londonpaper and thisislondon on the tube and they make me angry (especially the last two) I should stop picking them up but a free read is hard to resist...

bramblebooks · 31/01/2009 20:20

Times (online)

Sunday Times - paper copy.

Stopped buying magazines, too expensive.

twinsetandpearls · 31/01/2009 20:24

Why swedes. Off all the insults I have ever had on mumsnet that is the worst. You would only have to be with me for a few seconds in real life to know I am not a daily mail reader.
