Newspapers

Am I really the first to ask if there are papers on Christmas Day? :-)

[Mexican18]

No

[dannyk13]

No papers on Christmas Day.

[Etch]

Mexican18 - is that "no, you're not the first to ask" or "no, there are no papers"? (I feel as if I've wandered into a Vicar of Dibley sketch) ;-)

[ichkeria]

The Sun is doing an iPad edition :-)
The Times and doubtless others still do crosswords and stuff

[Mexican18]

Etch. Both, my Wife asked me this morning!

No press tomorrow, fills our Doug with sorrow
The empty stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn

[douglas9401]

It took a while to name the tune
That line belongs to Peter Noone

[Spicerack]

He's still going. Looks about 20 now.

[Hopkirk]

Do people still buy newspapers? How very last century.

[rowanwitch]

I only buy newspapers for a few weeks before I do any decorating.

[douglas9401]

Does the paste not make them tear easily when trying to hang them though?

[New Judge]

A good rule of thumb is whether there is any horse racing. If there's horse racing there will be papers.

To the best of my knowledge there hasnt been a mainstream newspaper printed on Xmas day for many years.

For the first time in almost a century, Times readers will be able to enjoy their favourite newspaper on Christmas Day. In 1912, newspaper editors agreed not to produce a Christmas Day edition of the paper for the general public – giving delivery drivers, newsagents and paperboys the day off.

emmie, that story's 10 years old. Most papers will update their websites as needed but you'll be hard pressed to find an actual newspaper

[emmie]

i have no idea

[brainiac]

Even if there were newspapers published, there'd be nowhere to buy them as all shops shut!

I don't know whether it still is, but the Scottish Daily Record, sister paper of the Daily Mirror, used to be published on Xmas Day and was available in the North of England. The only day of the year that it was seen in England.
