Random ramblings from the cluttered brain of a Brit ex-pat North Devonian trying to keep cool in the steamy summers and warm in the frosty winters of The Great White North.

News Update
Need something to read while commuting to the City on the GO train?
Sunny Monday to you ! Our snow is glimmering even inside the house and we have -8 Celsius (17,6F ), no crocuses yet! I wish you a good week hoping everything is well with all of your family!
Well, the written press has some serious difficulties, but obviously the offer is still large! Free press of course, based on commercials.... Unfortunatley they will probably also meet some difficulties.
Amazing the proliferation of free reading material these days. When I was a kid, you had your choice of buying one of three newspapers. Now, you can get any one of 7 or 8 free, as well as two for purchase.
Take your pick, lots to choose from. Free!
I've too have noticed the go stations have lots of news boxes. Everyone who commutes into Toronto must be well read. ;-)
ReplyDeleteInteresting, as so many dailies are struggling or calling it quites now.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, a sight I see often. I usually just pick up an already-read one on the train.
ReplyDeleteSad to say so many newspapers are folding. I wonder how long before the freebies are gone too. I like all the colors of the stands.
ReplyDeleteno stations even close to us....and the one train station in town has one commuter and it arrives and departs at 2AM.
ReplyDeleteWow - that's a lot of reading material!!
ReplyDeleteSunny Monday to you !

ReplyDeleteI hope they're better than the free papers I've read down here. I'll say this much about them: I got my money's worth. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I noticed was the locked meter box in the background.
ReplyDeleteTragic, isn't!
and they wonder why we need to recycle!!!
