Assuming you read a newspaper, which part do you read first?
Which part of the same paper would you like to see left out?

I start with the back page and byepass anything about celebrities or 'revelations' by their off-springs.

Very seldom read a newspaper, but when I do I read the front page then work through from front to back, sometimes skimming over long articles to read more fully later.
Once I get to adverts, houses and sports.. I put it down.

I start at front. Make a note to go back to some pages but then never do.
Mostly skim the sports pages.

I read The Times, start at the front but only read half. Once it gets up to the World News section, I lose interest as any significant foreign stories will have reported at the front.

Having said that I wouldn't like it removed as I'm sure many people do find it interesting!

Dear Harry and All

Hello

Hope you are okay.

It depends on what newspaper I am reading.

For the Daily Mail, I read from the front to the sports pages.

But with the Telegraph, I start at the back.

I buy newspapers, according to what headlines are on the front.

But I agree with other comments, I give a wide berth to the so-called celebrity gossip. It drives me nuts and I ignore most of the column writers.

As for revelations about a famous person, usually done when the person has passed on, I would use the pages as fish and chip paper.

If you want to say something about your family member, have the guts to say it to them when they are alive and in private.

Certainly, not afterwards, because you didn't get any money in the will.

Take gentle care all
Very best wishes
xx

My feelings exactly Elizabeth. Thanks to all who hve replied with their interesting comments.

Silly as it sounds, I think Norman Tebbit is the only person in the country who would right some of the niggly things which seem to be ignored by our present and recent top men.

Happy days

I just look at the pictures...lol

Seriously though, I just find most of the newspapers are just full of half truths, and I just cant be doing with the so called celebs or bloody footballers.
