David Aaronovitch says so.


And I agree.


I love the Guardian, I like the Telegraph, the Times I can do without. I despise the Mail.


I just enjoy the "feel" of a newspaper. It holds a particular experience within its neat folded sheets, and a well read newspaper looks exhausted, it looks disheveled, ready to be binned or re-cycled.


Personally I like all that & though I read on-line, I feel more immersed if I read it in a broadsheet.



Is this nostalgia, or does the physical and emotional part matter too ?

*yawns...*

Actual numbers of newspapers sold Daily / Anually UK / globally are difficult to calculate

as figure are changing and are huge.


By 2007, there were 6580 daily newspapers in the world selling 395 million copies a day.


By 2009 there were 12477 News papers world wide..


Almost every Newspaper will be read once then discarded.


Some will be recycled.

Some will be burnt.

Some will end up buried in tips. Newspapers take up about 14 percent of landfill space


This process cannot be allowed to continue.


Recycling Newspaper is hazardous due to printing ink being Toxic. (Hence Chip shops cannot use them)


Info Various sources.


Trees

And just how many trees does it take to make a newspaper? Well, it takes 75,000 trees to print one day?s circulation of the Sunday edition of the New York Times. Multiply that by the 52 Sundays in a year and that comes out to 3,900,000 trees. Think about that for a minute. It takes 3,900,000 trees to print a years worth of Sunday editions of the New York Times.

That is just 1 news paper..


Just think about it before buying a newspaper.

Never understood why someone would put currants and cinnamon in a brick but I do remeber the first time I caught a bus in London a mate of mine picked up a discarded Metro from under the seat and showed me what to do if I ever had to facilitate a swift exit from a sticky situation.

Was it to roll it into a cone and vomit into the extemporised receptacle, before hiffing cone and contents oot the windae?

    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
