I just walked in through the front door and what do I find on the door mat? A free copy of the sun snooze paper. Right result. They just saved me getting mud all over the carpet. ;-)
The headline reads "This Is England". Has Nigel Farage taken over this highly respected publication? :-S
On page three - a picture of Kelly Brook. Well doesn't that make you proud to be English? That a brainless bimbo can be dubbed our 'number one rose' really brings a lump to my throat. :-|
I don't know what the rest says. Do they really think that posting this rubbish through peoples letter boxes is going to increase circulation? :-S

Just had copy of that gutter publication delivered by postman - we don't want copies of that circulating around here, that could cause property prices to fall - so straight in the bin :-D

OOOH lovely . I need as many newspapers as I can get to put down infront of the cats litter box as she is getting a bit forgetful in her old age and peeing outside the box instead of inside it

Ideal use for the Sun :-D

Ours delivered today, which was great as we were running out of newspapers to wrap our compostable rubbish in.

:-D

I'm afraid I missed all the chat ebout the above 'rag' but the postman has just delivered one to my house.

I think the posties have enough rubbish to deliver without adding this to their bags, Being married to a postie of 32 years service the weight they have to carry around can be quite a problem sometimes especially when the bag gets wet.

Also I found we had no social life with himself having to be in bed by 9pm and up at 3.30 am 6 days a week. Thank goodness he has now retired!

Our copy went in the recycling box but then husband read online about the token slip for a free bottle of Coke. Paper retrieved, token cut out, off to shops, just back with free bottle, paper back in recycling box.

How many will now be heading for their recycling bin?

Graham Report 12 Jun 2014 14:36

Coke? I thought that usually came in sacks. :-S

That picture on page 3 - although her boobs are covered, and, to me, her allegedly provocative pose looks more like she's relieving herself, could be offensive to a lot of people.
I fail to see why this (to some) pornographic material should be forced on every household in the country!

When my children were small, I used to get the Guardian - until I realised that the 'personal' column ( at the back) also contained escort adverts. I certainly wouldn't allow a rag that had half naked girls air brushed so they looked like Barbie dolls, over my threshold! :-| :-|

Mine went unread into the post box.....The Sun is not a newspaper that has ever been read in our house.

Snap Susan, I took mine to the postbox and bunged it in there, wonder how many the postie collected :-D

Not many have read it - but loads know its contents.

Puzzling!

Some succeed on the back of bad publicity.

Did you know, you only need the reading age of an 8 and a half year old child to read the 'Sun '

Dermot

Dermot Report 13 Jun 2014 22:04

Faith School students at that age cannot spell their own name - if we are to believe recent reports.
