Scootering magazine. Good read and way to keep up to date with the scene.

I used to read that.

Wanna buy a 1982 Vespa?

South Wales Echo Circulation ......covering Cardiff, Vale of Glamorgan , Valleys ......about 7000 copies

South Wales Evening Post .....Swansea , Llanelli , Carmarthen etc

......15000 copies

I always thought the evening Post was a far better paper but the Echo is really on its arse

The "i" delivered daily (x6) on subscription as it works out at only about 35p a day and it's a sensible, nice, concise little read and access to digital version when out and about too, it'll do me, tidy!

I buy The Times every day (Mon-Fri), but at £2.50 a shot, it's become an expensive habit. I'm tempted by these online offers, but once the initial offer period runs out, you're still paying £26 a month for full access, which is a lot, even if it's a lot less that the £50 I'm paying at the moment. £50 on newspapers! I must be mad. I know The Guardian is free online (and I do read it a lot), but find it a little bit too far to the left for me. One of these days I'll probably go for a Times digital subscription, but I do like having a proper newspaper.
I used to buy (and write for) WSC, but I found that it was getting a bit expensive for not very much (let's be fair, you can read it cover to cover in an hour or so). Private Eye is an occasional purchase - it gets depressing if you read it every fortnight. I also used to buy Fortean Times on a regular basis, but even the best newsagents don't seem to keep it these days. There's a mystery for someone to look into.

I pick up a hard copy of the Sunday Times with a subscription voucher but as part of the deal you get full online access daily.
Not a bad price.

Re: Do you get any magazines or papers these days ?

I used to buy a newspaper daily, usually the Guardian, and often monthly magazines.

Now I tend to buy magazines ad-hoc, mostly HI-Fi news, Private Eye, Classic Rock and cycling magazines. I still buy a newspaper, but not so much now.

Separates, and only listen to Vinyl in the house. Unless Radio or Spotify (which is usually a precursor to me buying the album)

Having said that, it's been in dry storage for 20 years and not been kicked over once. So i doubt it would do 99 mph now.

🤣 I feel that pain mate! I've just got my t5 back after being stored for ages and needing an engine rebuild! How much are you after for the scoot? I'm not really in the market but may know someone who is.

We get the New Yorker Vanity Fair. I'll read the print version of the New Yorker. I think the Mrs reads Vanity Fair online.
