At least we don't have to buy newspaper comics. I haven't bought a paper
for at least 10 years and I never will again. If they go under in this
recession I for one won't be shedding many tears. Good riddance.

Funnily enough there were high stacks of unsold tabloids in the local
Sainsburys when I bought our papers on Saturday - Mail in particular
seemed to be over-stocked.

May simply have been a late delivery....

I think most newsagents, I don't know about supermarkets, get their supplies
from W H Smith and they seem to use a random-number generator to decide how
many papers to supply.
