Wait.

People have newspapers delivered? What kind of technological backwater is this?

What is this 'newspaper' of which you speak?

Anyhow, he's just bought himself a pair of headphones with his first wage packet and is feeling very pleased with himself. So thank you, Daily Mail readers of Sheffield - he couldn't have done it without you!

Tell him not to miss a trick at this time of year. Son2 delivered a card and a chocolate with all his papers today.

When I were a lad the shop would give us specially printed cards that said something like happy Christmas from your delivery boy/girl inside them.

We used to have those, the weekday boys used to deliver them, but it seems that the customers preferred to leave a tip out at the weekend. I was lucky, I did the weekends.

That's a good idea. When my boy did his paper round he popped in a Christmas card with each paper, that year he got over £200 in tips.

I think it's too late this year as he only does Saturday's.
I'll tell him to plan a charm offensive next Christmas if he's still on the job.

Dacre's temple vein writhing like a lug-worm when some poor underling had to tell him the apology conditions:

"Full page"

"In Arabic"

With reference to his alleged command of English, I alway think of Dacre as a latter-day King daffodil.

Reading that you'd be left confused as to exactly which newspaper made the terrible mistake and had to hand over shed loads of cash.

Are you sure any newspaper handed any money over? I would look more at the behaviour of the person who lied in the first place. I thought revenge porn was the worst you could do!

 

[perplexed]

Are you suggesting that just this paper is biased? Really?

Er, no... I don't think I suggested that the Express was unique in purveying a not insignificant quantity of bullcrap.

 

[Ian H]

I think of DM readers as fearful, timid small-'c' conservatives. They're on the lower rungs of the aspirational ladder and in awe of those further up. They are however terrified of those below them and will stamp on fingers if necessary. Of course their reading matter reinforces their world-view.

What do you reckon?

 

[SD1]

What do you reckon?

I don't reckon anything. I asked if they had handed money out. Not wherever they should do. She didn't give the impression she was interested in compensation. Although I expect she will be getting a few unsolicited calls from solicitors who may help change her mind!!
