Katie Morag Delivers the Mail - Mairi Hedderwick

Tasty Katy

Advantages: Great taste and Colour
Disadvantages: None

Thatcher?s Katy: I grew up really close to the Thatcher?s cider farm in Somerset and used to go there a kid quite a bit. Whenever we had a barbeque or something similar off we would go to buy a gallon ?jug? of cider. I loved the smell of the place as a kid and loved the rough and readiness of the shop which was just a farm building with barrels in and a little counter with a till. It was always a bit exciting going to Thatcher?s because it was all part of the getting ready to party routine. Even as a small kid we would be given a tiny taster of sweet cider straight from the barrel and then be a little tipsy and giggly on the ride home. It probably isn?t allowed anymore but it never did us any harm and I rarely drink so it didn?t turn me into a raving alcoholic either. As a kid I used to occasionally be allowed a glass of cider ...

Review of Thatcher's Katy

JUNK MAIL

Advantages: Human interest stories?
Disadvantages: Is this really news?

Before I write this review, I should in advacne apologise to those who read the Daily Mail everyday as their paper of choice, this is not a reflection on you or how you see the world, but more how I view it. I am sure that deep down those that choose to read this paper have some great qualities. There are a few things in life that I am loathed to admit to, yet I think it is time that I cam eout of the closet and admitted that yes.... I do *gulp* read the Daily Mail online everyday. Now to some of you no doubt this will not be shocking, it is after all a very popular newspaper in the UK and one read by millions of people up and down the country, but I consider myself a 'bit of a lefty' I love the European Union and a Federalist State, I hate pounds and ounces..preferring Kilograms and grams, I think 100 watt lightbulbs are a bad idea ...

Review of The Mail

The Daily Mail

Advantages: Well laid out, easy to read
Disadvantages: More pricey than other leading tabloids

The Daily Mail has been a welcome breakfast addition in our household for as long as I can remember. The news is reliable, informative, and well presented. Redtop tabloids such as The Sun and The Mirror are full of useless showbiz gossip, whereas The Mail concentrates on "real" news. The first issue of the Daily Mail was published on 4th May, 1896 by Alfred Harmsworth, and was an immediate success, quickly reaching a circulation of over 500,000. With the start of the 1899 Boer War, sales soared to over 1 million copies a day. Since then, there's been no looking back. The Daily Mail is certainly the most expensive tabloid newspaper in circulation, at 35p daily. The Sunday equivalent and the Mail's sister paper The Mail on Sunday costs £1. This may seem an extortionate price for a newspaper, but is definitely worth it. The Daily Mail ...
