Last summer I brought a copy of ‘I’ and had a picnic all by myself without kids, in-laws and the other half. It was magnificent.

I did quite a lot from around March 2020 until last Summer, mainly a Saturday paper because I had a lot of time at weekends not doing an awful lot. Sporadically since, might buy one tomorrow as at home all weekend.

Occasionally when travelling as well, again a couple of hours on a train or a plane is time to read one fairly thoroughly.

Where I live there’s a free paper every weekday at the station called The Metro. I sometimes pick that up for the Sudoku. The misses likes a Daily Mail on a Saturday for the TV pages.

It’s useful for the cat litter.

I like early doors in a pub with the Guardian cryptic.

My mother still has one delivered daily (two on Saturdays and Wednesdays). Mostly local/regional rather than national papers, tho.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

My guilty pleasure used to be buying a paper on an away day, getting there early and finding a nice hidey hole away from the crowds to have bite of lunch and a couple of pints over the paper. TWTD. Can't remember the last time I did that as we've had kids stuff on Saturday mornings for years.

So no, not bought one for ages.

Get the "I" in the week, Sunday Times at the weekend.

Main problem is a paper is out of date by the time you read it, I'll be reading out of date news this lunchtime with none of the detail of anything from the past hours developments.

But still a pleasure, peace, quiet and a paper.

I like the way you’ve written that like no one else would have heard of the Metro 🤣

I suppose I do so by default when I buy the Archant goody bag on a matchday, although that's more for the good deal on the drink/snacks rather than buying it for the journalism contained within.

Otherwise, like others, usually just for a solo train journey so I can lose myself in the crosswords.

I buy the FT every Saturday, have done for years. Only football news recently has been an EOY review of why the European Super League failed and that it is still only a matter of time until it eventually happens. The FT helps me have a financial perspective on absolutely everything.

I'll buy a Private Eye for a train journey but that's about it.

Last time I bought a paper The Times was a broadsheet

I do, as reading your phone or tablet in the bog isn't the same experience.
