A request for help if you can spare a minute. Yesterday (Sat 18th Feb)my wife gave birth to my son, so far so good but this is where it all goes pear shaped. When my daughter was born I went out and bought all the newspapers available on that day to keep until she is old enough to appreciate them. This time round I completely forgot and wanting to give them both the same things I am asking if anyone out there in PistonHead land would have any of yesterdays editions that they no longer want. If anyone can help please send me an email and I will respond when I get the chance as i am still backwards and forwards to the hospital.

Many Thanks in advance

Have you tried calling round the local newsagents. They might have some unsold copies left.

I have yesterday's Telegraph, without Travel section and magazine, not that you'd mind - I'm sure your new offspring won't care about what cruise deals were available the day they were born. I will keep the main paper to one side for you, before it's put down for the dog to wee on.

The publishers keep 100's of copies, give them a call and I'm sure they can obligue

What's to appreciate about The Sun, The Mirror and Daily Star apart from the obvious assets?!

Congratulations.

They don't have a page 3 in the Mirror, that is the Sun/Star etc.

Try Tesco or another big supermarket, theyre meant to send the old copies back every night but unlike newsagents they usually dont bother and have a big pile for about a week!

Of course you could argue that todays papers covered the news on the day he was born so would that be more relevant?
