How many of you still buy the telegraph

How many of you still buy the telegraph? I was just wondering as I have enquired about some advetising and found it pretty steep. Do you look for local services in the paper or do you look on google???

I think most people who come on here would probably ask on here for recommendations, so probably not the best market research source

I buy the Observer about 4 or 5 times a year, which is 4 or 5 times a year more than I buy the Telegraph.

Unless it's a really difficult one to find I would ask on here or Google

I still get it but it doesn't take me long to read it.

only get it very rarely, used to get every night,when it was a good paper, but moby dick was a tadpole then.

Mrs gets it every day and reads it, I usually read the sports pages and thats it, never look for local services, Google them as a rule or ask about

shillelagh · 28-01-2010, 20:40

buy it once maybe twice a year if that ...

I don't think I've bought one in the last forty-three years.

I do still get it most days, but not always, i usually still get the Observer too, but sadly neither rag are as good as they once were! As far as advertising goes, the Telegraph would still win hands down over Observer, but its always been expensive, you might as well walk round town with a loud hailer as use the Observer for all the response your likely to get!!

Growing up we had it delived every night, and I enjoyed reading it.

Now I'll probably buy it twice a year, and it's a two minute read.

I do look at their website, mainly because the comments are fun, such as this one, which made me laugh.

It always surprises me why small things amuse small minds
