    What paper do you read?

    Kind of curious. What daily paper do people read regularly?

    RIGHT! No more! It is daily now though isn't it, so I guess it goes in, but anyone asking me to add in "The Racing Post" will get a smack

    I just buy the Guardian once a week - every Saturday, then it takes me all week to read it and all the supplements

    And the TV/Entertainment guide is good as well.

    Usually keep up with the news online at BBC UK.

    Parents subscribe to the Times. Not a big fan of The Murdoch Empire but it's not complete trash.

    Guardian, but usually only once a week. Usually rely on the Beeb news ticker daily.

    Oops, no I agree that the FT should definitely have made it in there. I've added it. Quite like the FT myself as well, but it misses out on the loony comment that you get in the Groniad, and hence is not worthy of my 50p!
