Anybody else thought their paper bill was a little heavy this morning

Gone up to 95p

I think that's it for me now after been reading it for years although the last 12 months their text seems to have got smaller and smaller but the price as got bigger.

Stopped buying it weeks ago I hate the new look they came up with not an inviting paper to pick up and read. its doubled in price very quickly.

10 pence voucher off in every issue to use for the following Friday.

Sounds like a trip to the opticians is due.

Thank you



Sound like I should be charging customers that come in and read it and also someones brother

It's rubbish, the articles are laughable. "Man angry at parked cars" and there's a photo of said man with his arms folded. Apparently that's the angry look.

My Grandad buys it "to find out who's died this week"

The reporters have been recruited from "The Dandy". The headline will be LOCAL RESIDENTS UP IN ARMS AT PLANS TO CLOSE LIBRARY. The picture will be a group of unshaved locals in tracky bottoms who are struggling with the second edition of Janet and John. The paper is gash.

Just go Online and read it, shows exactly whats in the Paper apart from Adds.

The price shocked me as well - think I've bought my last one this week!

we waited til someone had one free to give us



but yeah, the photos are worth the 95p itself.

Sad story = residents with arms folded
council story = Peter Box in his office holding a pen
happy story = a family told to fake a laugh for the pic

The spelling of my name in the cricket section is always worth a chuckle as well if ever I get in...

I tell you what else I like, whenever something dramatic happens and they call the person in question "quick-thinking"

There was a story a few weeks ago when a woman with a pram almost got hit by a bus, and was called "quick thinking" for getting out of the way

My wife was featured in the WE last year prior to running the London Marathon; she remains furious at being described as 'Ossett Mum of two.'

Is she from Ossett? Is she a mum of two?

She is, but being a modern woman and all that, she prefers not to be defined purely as such; I just tell her to pipe down and get back in the kitchen.

Yeah course you do.

yeah they do that a lot - like it defines a woman, how many children she's had.

An Ossett mother of two, accomplished with both knitting AND sewing, gives up her Sunday afternoon cooking and ironing to complete the London Marathon.

Upon receiving her medal, she said "I could sell this for a new hoover"

Only in my head.

Haven't you got some ironing to do, Bren

I only get it for the artists impressions. There is normally one a week in there of what something is going to look like when built, but 99.9% of the time that is about as far as the crazy wonderful idea ever gets. That is apart from the padestrianisation of Wood Street which i think they actually trialled for a weekend once???
