    Just as matter of interest as it says a lot about someone's character and politics.

    Obviously I expect people to avoid the journal and northern echo as mag papers, any scousers will deffo avoid the sun and any nazis will deffo read the daily mail. Therefore, who reads what and for what strange reason my personal fave reason is a friend of mine who gets the star for the racing, he sees what thee tipsters tip and totally rules them out.

    I like the Sun. I don't care what impression that gives people.

    I seldom get a paper though.

    I get the 'I' but the magic of the internet means I get to multiple views on the stories that interest me.

    I refuse to get the I as a matter of principle because their first tv advert had a voice over of a geordie saying 'Why Aye'. Bastards.

    A man of principles. At least people can't criticise you that.

    But that's the equivalent to judging a book by it's cover. Never saw that ad anyway.

    Some books you can judge by their cover eg Readers Wives.

    Don't read the papers much but there is a fantastic website called newsnow.co.uk. It basically gathers news from everywhere about everything including sport so you can read all the different rumours about who we are signing etc. I thoroughly recommend it! So there 😝

    The independent does good english sport. Only 40p if you buy it from a university shop too.

    Usually buy a paper every time I go out just for something to read if i go for a coffee or a pint or something.

    It is a mans prerogative to enjoy an afternoon stroll a swift pint and read the paper.

    Im not a nazi - just another northern leftie. But I read the mail coz I can read it cover to cover on the commute into London and do all the crosswords and other crap on the way out. Makes the commute go that much quicker.

    And anyone who's politics are influenced by the paper he reads is an idiot!
