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?

    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.

    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
