To balance things out a bit, I've decided to nominate ANOTHER of my local newspapers for HERO of the week, just because they had the following headline:
"Demolition was destructive act"
Really? REALLY? What a SHOCKER!!! ;D ;D ;D
Oh yeah, and they didn't even mention the fact that one of the top *ahem* local football teams has just been relegated...ha ha! ;D

I reckon all the local papers have been infiltrated by the Carshiton propoganda machine to avoid ever mentioning how rubbish they are  |

I reckon the Sutton Post is the worst newspaper in the world!

It isn't really a newspaper, it is a mass of adverts with the occasional "news" story.

I used to deliver the Merton version of the post. If any house had a dog i wouldn't deliver the paper.

lol, delivering the post was the bottom rung of the paperboy ladder What you wanted was a two mile cycle round the nice parts of Sutton every morning delivering broadsheets and Daily Mails |

Why would any sane person read the Daily Mail? My job was easy, an hour a week delivering papers round near my house, i could bin the ones i couldnt be bothered to post, as no-one cared either way. I jacked it in when they gave me a longer route!

Did i say i delivered to sane people? I used to deliver the Telegraph to this great old lady who was cricket mad, the only time i wouldn't see her about in the morning was when cricket was on, plus she was a bit eccentric in the first place. Try telling your teacher you were late for school cos you were talking about the Test Match for 15 minutes with one of the old ladies on your route |

I jacked it in when they gave me a longer route! He's right... that was the sort of paper round I liked!! (And you know I'm a geek anyway before you say anything) but some weeks I was on about £10 an hour doing those rounds, with all the leaflets that didn't get delivered too! |

I did three of them so I got pretty fit from all the walking... I amazingly did get one Christmas bonus... it's a shame it was probably meant for the regular delivery guy!! I also got to keep any good leaflets, so I always had lots of free food vouchers  Couldn't complain at that! |
