Reply #15 - 08.07.2007 at 16:26:02 I am suprised you have any time for anything other than house and Jag restoration. Between work and restoring our house I find very little time for anything other than sleeping, but do try to put aside a few hours to work on my family tree project, browse the internet or play a computer game or watch the odd video.

the reason I asked is because in the US, with the advent of CNN and all other instant-news channels who came after, Newspapers are going-out-of-business in every city, they can't give them away, much less sell them. Everything is old by the time they are printed, and then the ink stains in the hands and upholstery, well that's another story.

Then you have the issue of Font Size, they use such a small size that it simply is not legible without the Hobel Telescope.

Jos, I can see that things must be different over there. Our print is very legible (only a bit less than this size in fact), ink staining issues disappeared years ago, and the topics in that days paper are borrowed by the topical discussion programmes on the radio. Then of course, there are the free scratch cards........ Roll Eyes

Cheers, Archie.

So..yeah...If I want to know what happened yesterday I`ll get tomorrow`s paper 'cos CNN/BBC didn`t get the half of it.

To get back on thread.........I too found the forum by accident despite getting JWM religiously for the last 5 years. It can get a bit samey but there's always a few articles of interest to make me want to buy next month's.

Hi Bryan, I have referred this to Kelsey for their information. I personally think that your car would make a good basis for an article of some kind, but my influence is very limited (I should say non existent!!).
I would also like more exposure for our 'family friendly' Forum, but there are limits on magazine space, and we do have a link on the letters page which was provided as a result of this particular thread. Regards, Archie.
