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!  |

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

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.

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. |

 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? |
