No more Daily Telegraph for me.

I have taken the Daily Telegraph for more years than I can remember, more for it's cryptic crossword than for its political standpoint. However, today's Daily telegraph (Saturday 5th October 2013) will be the last I will ever buy unless that change their uncommonly greedy behaviour. this rag is now just a vehicle for advertising.

This Saturday paper is now £2.00! Considering all of the lifestyle crap is automatically thrown away, that's a lot of money for an hours reading. To my mind the rot set in when they used the very back page, home of my beloved crossword, for a full page advert and moved the weather and crossword inside. Do they not understand how newspapers work!

The final straw was the unbelievable amount of advertising in the main paper; about 50% of the available space appeared to be taken up by advertising. I almost had to search for something to read. WHen one considers that the remainder of the Saturday's lifestyle crap contains around 70% advertising that is pure greed - nothing more.

Newspapers are now a dying breed. I shall be glad when The Daily Telegraph becomes synonymous with Pink Stamps and the like.

My news will now come from the BBC website and as for the crossword, it will be replaced by the Canada's Globe and mail. It's available online, is very good and is free.
