No. I’ve read the Guardian and the Observer for forty-odd years but I haven’t bought a printed Observer this century; I only read them online. I haven’t bought a Saturday Guardian for at least twenty years and have bought a printed weekday Guardian twice: once when it went to a berliner format and once when it became a tabloid, just to see what they were like. I might buy an Observer one Sunday this summer to see what it’s like before it inevitably disappears for good. I subscribe to the Guardian but there is zero chance of me taking out a separate subscription for the Observer. It and the Graun have been declining in standard for a long time and are ever more padded out with lifestyle crap rather good reportage and analysis. My Guardian subscription has gone up 20% this month but its worth to me is lower than it has ever been. -
I do like the Nunhead Gardener. Shannon's was cheaper but that is academic. Garden Centres have not benefited from Brexit, one reason that Shannons closed. The wildlife centre is good for native hedging, fruit trees and bushes and the like, and worth a stroll down to in any case. -
nunhead gardener - because they are doing plants which last and give advice - you can get stuff from all over, but support local, give local people work and get some advice and the plants have lasted -

Very good point Sue. If a replacement franchise is successfully let then it would throw into question whether the Crown Post Office was unprofitable. The only obvious differential would be levels of pay for the staff and level od service for customers and any up tick in usage.
