Yes
Just bought the Daily Mirror Saturday 1st August, and I was a little confused by the cover story, until I discovered it was an advert. It was an advert by Tesco, done up to look like the front cover of the daily Mirror. It looks like front page news, telling us about Tesco Club Card points. Now why would that be front page news? Think I will have to start looking for another paper!
 
I must be tired - I saw the thread title as Daily Mail Reader Reach Around!

It almost was, as I was reading it on the toilet. I know what I should have used the front cover for, and no not to wrap my chips in :rolleyes:
 
Beats me why anyone buys newspapers these days, yesterdays news and ill informed partisan opinion mixed with whatever bovine excrement they think will get them more sales.
 
I've noticed the red tops have been doing that lately, NEXT did that with the papers. I wonder how much that must have cost and whether the firms in question get their money back in extra revenue gained by it.

Agreed. The amount of moaning old farts clogging up the shop on a Sunday Morning in the early AM rush for the papers is beyond belief.

The missus like it for the TV guide, but there again all that's on the net too.

I nearly bumped into one of those silly old farts this morning, until I realised I bumped into the Mirrored wall :rolleyes:

I agree, but I guess this means no more paper rounds either. Growing up, it was the only way an under-16 could earn a bit of cash :(

A modern under 16 would setup a blog and video blog. Get a good following and you easily earn loads more than the paper round. Don't have to get up early either.

Or as an alternative sell your virginity on eBay. Again more money than the paper round and likely than most people's (from that generation) life time earnings.

Or, more my style, develop a good app. Billionaire territory.

You've got to get with the good modern ways @Llamaman :)
 
And I suppose there's good money to be made from posting shill reviews for shady grey-import camera companies... ;)

You got to do a lot of reviews. If I was so inclined I would use a computer programme to modify the review and post it up automatically. Lots of pennies will soon turn into pounds.
 
Mind you, today the Daily Mirror has become even less appealing (as if that isn't possible) by having dropped the Horace comic strip. That's the first thing I always go to upon buying the paper, but today my usual Horace strip has been replaced by some rubbish 1950's style feature. C'mon, if they HAD to drop a comic strip, they could have got rid of the unfunny Gag Vault.
 
If it was not for the missus and her TV guide, I would never buy the paper again. But at ninety pence, it's a small price to pay to keep her happy :)
