The Mail And The Guardian

[andy-hughes]

Last weekend, we were delivered a Guardian instead of the Mail, and before returning the Guardian and getting the Mail, I had a chance to compare their weekend magazines.

I found it interesting how each clearly appeals to its readership demographic with its cover feature.

The Guardian had Vicky McClure, looking like a Vogue cover shot, cheek bones you could fold a hankie on, eyes to get lost in, a veritable goddess in human form, sexy and modern.

Then came the Mail with Kate Humble, wellies, wax jacket, hair all over the place, no make-up, all countryside and Aga.

I think I might have to change papers, at least at the weekend!!

I'm doubly shocked, you actually get a newspaper and it's the Mail!

The Mail has shown Kate in her full glory - I think she is a beautiful woman

Not forgetting the small matter that The Mail is £1.10 and The Guardian is £3.50 - that's nearly £125 a year difference!

And they're judged by the Tottyometer.

The sad Guardian needs all the help it can get. It's circulation is down to 140,000 and it's never once made money.

Is this the same photo of Vicky McClure, Andy?

I'm also amazed!

My Times magazine always goes in the bin. Regardless of who's on the cover.
One week they had what looked like a nude woman on the front, with a modesty strip of paper across the middle.
Reomve the strip as I er, felt bound to do in the interests of research and I was relieved to discover it was still modest :-)

Just buy The Sun

It is.

I'd have thought the content held more importance than the cover picture.

I must view magazines differently.

I think Kate is pretty, but she would most likely take you for a yomp through the forest for ten miles, and then rustle up something substantial on the Aga while you wipe the wellies down.

Vicky would stay in by the fire and slowly make you feel like you'd had a yomp for ten miles, and then probably keep on until you begged for mercy!!!!!

Good grief! Are you okay?

Fine thanks, enjoying writing a Cruise Talk on Bob Marley, just knocked off for a little diversion on here.

AH, are you a dirty old man or do you just sound like one?

[andy-hughes]

A dirty old man.

[naomi24]

Thought so.

I would've thought that just reading the Mail would've been enough for you to change newspapers, but there you go.

[youngmafbog]

Perhaps to solve the problem you should take a copy of Razzle with your mail AH ;-)

Maybe Andy buys the DM for the pictures...
