No, Kate, you were right to point out the supplements are extra to the ordinary number of pages.
Point well made.

And the most beautiful women wouldn't even shine through in a competition like this, because there is a bit more to beauty than prancing around in a bikini

What happened to the bit about shutting up

Re: Hyndburn's Honeys.
Seems like a lot of argument, time and space is being wasted on something really quite shallow. Not enough options for me to vote .... there needs to be an option like "Who really gives a s**t?"

Re: Hyndburn's Honeys.
I think that the problem is that the papers main selling point goes into these competitions, and so the regular content lacks quality because they know it isn't selling. Somebody must be buying into these competitions otherwise they wouldn't fill the paper with them.

Re: Hyndburn's Honeys.
Could be a reasonable idea though to have a couple of pages dedicated to more national news and how it effects the people of Hyndburn (or not even) after all we are 'Accy'web, and discuss subjects from all parts of Globe, but we do relate these to many experiences in our own lives. Maybe they could open their horizons a little further, without the detriment of losing articles pertaining to local issues.

"I have no opinion" could mean several things .... could mean I'm too stupid to come up with one .... "I don't give a s**t" is an opinion.
