Has anyone else been buying i ?

I was quite cynical. I only bought it to satisfy myself that it really was as bad as I thought it was going to be.

But ... I think it's quite good ... for a quick round up of all the News, in the time it takes you to have a Starbucks.

Has anyone else started buying it?

(I still get The Guardian as well, for a "proper" read).

[joggerjayne]

Oh, poop.

The AB software has capitalised my "i" ... so now it looks like an L .

[sandyRoe]

Not i. The Mirror's good enough for me.

[chelle7272]

I thought it was an exclamation mark....

anyway, yes I have been buying it and quite enjoying it, it's certainly easier to read when you're out somewhere

[Bbbananas]

I don't think they sell it out here in t'Fens.
Farming Weekly, Lincolnshire Pride (similar to Gay Pride but bisexual and inter-related) and News of the World is about the most demanded.

[ummmm]

Only once...but I keep meaning to. Well I didn't actually buy it...shop keeper gave it to me for a nosey. It reminded me of the back pages of the Sunday Times...tit bit facts. My kind of news.

[jackthehat]

I've decided to give it a try and shall endeavour to pick up a copy when I venture out later.
It is the 'celebrity-free' claims that interest me most.

I shall report back........

"Lincolnshire Pride" sounds like some sort of beer.

Or a type of cheese.

Or maybe a breed of pig.

I (capital) wondered what all this was about, so I have entered a link for others who are wondering.

My mate Lil's wedding featured in Lincolnshire Pride I will have you know JJ. She was most disgruntled she was not 'Bride of the Month' - but that accolade went to a young gentleman farmer (!) and his horsey-looking mare. Mind you, she did get married in purple... in Lincolnshire anyone who wears purple is considered to be qu33r...

[joggerjayne]

Why is anyone who wears purple considered queur ??

This is a county where everyone os called Yellow Bellies !

[mccfluff]

i loved my lincolnshire mate whose wife went to the wedding in a pink tractor, i thought that was fab :-)

nope not read it JJ might pick it up but doubt it

[Bbbananas]

Most of Fen Wallers are colour blind JJ.
They either wear camouflage, tweed or Barbour...

[Bbbananas]

I shouldn't mock Lincolnshire folk. After all, I am one. (Just not your typical one...)
They have a great sense of humour. And can drink and fart like Buckfummads. Who cares about dress sense or colour co-ordination?

[joggerjayne]

Nothing wrong with Barbour.

I have a Gamefair jacket, and a quilted thingy, and a body warmer from Barbour.

It's my little link with the North East !!

[alexanderd]

Jayne I thought I was your little link with the North-east(lol)

[Bbbananas]

I have a barbour. And Hunter wellies. And one of those Driza-bone hats. Epitome of Country Life moi. Though I don't possess any Cath Kidston.

[muchlovex]

I bought it today and really enjoyed it.

[joggerjayne]

AlexD ... you are my link too, of course.

I don't have much to do with the country ... living at the seaside ...

... in a cheesy holiday resort ...
