I notice the same thing mostly on a Saturday, when they want the centre pull-out for the weeks tv listings.
Still had subs for a few publications up until the last few years (New Statesman, London Review of Books, New Yorker, Financial Times).
Otherwise, grew up with the Guardian or Independent in the house as a nipper, the Echo and Western Mail, Empire, and although a different beast, I used to have countless punk fanzines when I was a teenager.
a lot of old people vote tory which is no surprise if they are reading the daily goose step
A mate of mine , a lifelong labour read it because of the weekly health section 🙄
I just told him to stop drinking alcohol

Used to get 442 but as someone stated its not as good as it was
viz was quality in its time
that's probab;ly because there are 4 full pages of quizzes and games in the middleand for the question and answer bit which can give some interesting facts about everyday things.
Why else?
The Dandy, the beano, the lion and later the wizard (Well mum bought them but they were ours)
The Telegraph because I got hooked on the crossword when an office I worked in had it delivered daily but stopped when I could finish the crossword every day. (I tried to do it again about a week ago and couldn't do 1 clue lol) Private Eye, Fiesta.
Used to rad the echo every evening as a teenager after my dad finished with it. That was when it was a broadsheet and every house in the street had one delivered.

and from a few decades earlier Charles Buchan’s Football Monthly, Goal and always was a Beano rather than Dandy boy.
Dandy, Beano, Echo, Football Echo, Motorcycle News, First Down (UK American football weekly paper).
My loyalties were first and foremost the Beano over the Dandy too.
Beano every timeMy loyalties were first and foremost the Beano over the Dandy too.
My preference too. Plus my older brother got the Dandy and it arrived on a monday so by Tuesday I'd read it, but my Beano came on a Wednesday and I could be a very very slow reader when things dictated.Beano every time

Q. I bought the first 168 issues religiously and then stopped for some reason. I used to really look forward to it coming out every month.
Another regular purchase in our house from about 1964 to 1967 was the monthly Beatles magazines called the Beatles Book. I was around ten at that time and my brother and sister were about half my age, but my mum used to buy them and then say she was getting them for us kids and yet I never got to see them until she had read them from cover to cover (she would have been not far short of forty at the time) - shame we didn’t keep them because I bet they’d be worth a fair bit now.

The Face, although I had a predilection for walking out of WH Smith’s in Merthyr without paying for it more often or not.
Melody Maker, NME, Private Eye, Punch, Fortean Times, When Saturday Comes, Q Magazine, Classic & Sports Car. And many more, probably.
