What does anyone think about the newcomer tabloid? It cut its own throat for me when its "Your Stars" feature told me my lucky holiday destination was Clacton-on-Sea. Although I suppose it could have been worse: it could have said Great Yarmouth. Reply to this message | Report message

>>What astrological advice would have earned your respect, Ambo? To watch out for coming good things. Yesterday's birthday brought a magnificent winter scarf, a winter-long book and an elegant dinner. This morning I got an extra Lovefilm DVD I hadn't asked for and £50 from those nice people at Premium Bonds that I hadn't so much asked as prayed for. Now for tonight's Lotto draw.

I had a flick through it but I wouldn't be a'buying it, as I read most of the comics on-line. The missus thought it was well laid out and quite readable ... but what does she know :) Reply to this message | Report message

It's like a school magazine produce by sixth formers. The lack of a political stance may seem like a good idea but it takes away the paper's gravitas. The pro/anti EU pieces by two writers yesterday were just lightweight rubbish with no real debate. The sport section was just a collection of short paragraphs. And WTF was that so called weather map on the back page? I give it till the summer before they either alter it completely or it disappears. Reply to this message | Report message

Our newsagent gave me a copy free today. Noted a picture of Katie price in minidress/boots and a full page "Are you married to the wrong person quiz". Ok I get the idea... no thanks. Reply to this message | Report message

We got 31 copies yesterday. Sold three, the rest went back as returns. The post office and general store who are twice as busy as us sold five. And it's going to double in price after an initial period. RIP. Reply to this message | Report message

The number of copies of any paper supplied to newsagents is based on sales and returns. This morning we managed to receive the grand total of none. Reply to this message | Report message

I read one copy. Did they empty the local asylum to employ sub-editors? But having said that, would their target-market notice? It looks like Hello! magazine in a daily form. Reply to this message | Report message

I wasted five bob on one last week. Just looks like they pinched all the headlines from other papers, like the local rag pinches everything from the Manchester Evening News....just a vehicle for advertisers. Will buy a choccy bar in future wiv me spends...more enjoyment...and will probably last longer ! Reply to this message | Report message

We get two in Mon - Fri, one goes to the local dentist for his waiting room (He stopped getting the Mail after it did an expose on rip off dental charges) and the other goes back. Even the Morning Star sells two copies. Reply to this message | Report message
