The Friday Five: Newspapers

[smallhobbit]

This week's questions from thefridayfive 

1. Did the house where you grew up have a newspaper delivered regularly?
Yes, and my weekly comic as well.

2. Have you ever subscribed to an actual print newspaper?
No.  Used to buy the local weekly rag from the local shop.

3. When was the most recent time you physically picked up and read a newspaper?
I don't remember, but it would almost certainly have been a free paper, so maybe the Standard in London

4. Do you pay for news online now?
Yes, but because I use the puzzle page.  I sometimes read the news as well.

5. Do you have any saved newspaper clippings?
A few very old ones, which relate to the family.

1. Tease! Which comic? :D

4. The puzzle pages are the best pages. ;-)

1. I had the Bunty for years :)

4. Definitely - and better than getting sucked into online games.

1. I was a Judy reader, which was Bunty's younger sister. :-)

One of my friends had Judy, so I occasionally got to read it.

I miss the weekly Sunday paper -- or at least, the comics section!

[smallhobbit]

Yes - news can be obtained anywhere :)
