So I can now say I have lived my life without ever purchasing a copy of the NOTW
My parents bought a copy (about the the only one they ever have) and I took a look at it today.
All it was full of was self congratulating stories on how they had helped catch Paedos, etc, (never mind all the damage they did by publishing people's pictures and addresses a few years back, causing 'Rent A Mob' to attack perfectly innocent people they believed to be sex offenders) and then the usual dross stories using all that Tabloid Speak (reading some of those headlines, it was like reading a different language! - a bit like Text speak, I HATE Tabloid speak).
I had to stop reading soon after so that I didn't burn my eyes out, meaning I don't know what came next.
Actually, the best bit seemed to be inside covers, as it was made up of the front page of the very first NOTW in 1843 or whatever it was.

Never bought a copy myself either, or any other red-top for that matter.
I heard a woman on the radio yesterday proudly telling the interviewer how shrewd she'd been by buying the last edition as an investment, and that it'll be worth a fortune in thirty years time. Well she and the other two million with the same idea might get twenty quid for it, I guess. If they remember where they'd stashed it

I've never read it
however buying it to use as masking when re-spraying a bike frame on the kitchen table I have done.
Well, I did read one once, about 10 years ago. It was sitting on the table in a cafe I was in so I had a read while I was waiting on my grub. Once I had filtered out all the sensationalised celebrity bullshit which is not news imo, then the actual news content of the paper took about 1 minute to read.

The amazing thing is that although no one ever admits to buying it, it has a circulation of well over two million and more ABC1 readers than any of the broadsheets.
