So that's the News folks !!

... and that was the new Scunthorpe Telegraph. Jeez, what a mess - 140 pages of mess and somewhere in the 140 pages of adverts are dotted some items of News. Non of it new News as you can't print new News when the new News happened after the paper was printed - last week.. It's an appalling shambolic mess and I for one would like to know who's been putting LSD in the water cooler ..... again?
20 years I've been advertising with them and by page 37 I was worn out. "There's another 103 pages to go, I don't know if I'll make the Classifieds. Stay with me dear - Do we have supplies? - I'm just going out. I may be a while".... and like Captain Oades I never returned.
The upsides is I get to save a few hundred quid a month, loads of trees get to live and from one weekly addition an average Northern family have got sufficient bottom fodder for a month - or if they fold it nicely - 2 months. Most of Yorkshire are going to be reet chuffed .... tha' knows.
The wrtiing is on the wall ....... bye bye local paper.

Visit Scunthorpe is North Lincolnshire's only truly independent, non commercial, community news web site.
Established in January 2010 we have lots of members with a wide range of views who all contribute
independently with articles of their own.
You won't find dozens of adverts covering our site, or some poor attempt to promote local business services under the guise of offering a community service.
Here on VisitScunthorpe we are interested in just one thing, building an online community which is representative of the people of Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire and the surrounding area.
Paul. Founder Visit Scunthorpe.
