I think it is very sad that a local institution such as the Evening (now Swindon) Advertiser should slip even further back in quality reporting etc.  Never mind the fact that the majority of the news as printed is at least 48 hours old  - their tv programmes tonight tell me that I can wastch the Cheltenham Festival or Inter v. Chelsea in the sports section.  I suppose you cannot expect much more from a paper that now has its origins in Oxford! :doh:

They're also bringing in a new legislation that paperboys/girls will now have to distribute their papers in the mornings

An evening paper delivered in the morning, ridiculous

Do they sell it near the County Ground?

It's not been an evening paper for years, which is why they changed the name a few years back

Local papers always have, and always will be evening papers in my opinion

Noone wants to read that in the morning, it's always the nationals for me

You are, of course, perfectly entitled to your opinion. But a paper that's in the shops for 8 am isn't an evening paper, in my opinion.

Morning, evening, it doesn't really matter. It's just handy for when you accidentally run out of loo paper.

The Adver now gets delivered early in the morning, despite now being printed in Pox.

They never do an late edition now.

but can I get one at the county ground?

Quite correct Paul, but when I worked for them we would still be printing at 5 pm, with the racing results in the stop press - now you cannot even get overnight declarations in the useless thing.  I guess they had to change the name as it is no longer an evening paper.

:D

I can't believe nobody else picked up on that subtle little reference.

Is that thread still around or did the mods lock it to save us from ourselves?

I can't believe you didn't answer my post. I just want to know so I don't waste 30p ok?!!!

If I call you a cunt at this point will you get your mum to log on and give me a stern talking to?

Don't fall for it Si he normally has to pay extra for the "stern mum" service

If I call your mum a cunt, will you tell me if I can get an adver outside the ground?

That's not true! Your mum's rates have always been very reasonable

:D I walked right into that ...

You can deffo get an adver outside the ground, Abby's on the corner of Manchester Road if it's still there, but inside? That's another question.
