Is that readers or subscribers?

I get it free from a supermarket.

How do you do that Derek, which one?

Waitrose, free with every £5 spent along with your free coffee.

Good way of massaging the circulation figures to make the paper (and profits) look healthier than they actually are, I suppose..

Fair play to them, seems I was wrong (although it's taken them nearly 9 years to make it pay off..!). That aside, I still don't even think about The Times at all when reading news and with the online subs accounting for 250k readers it seems they're still singing to a pretty small audience.

Re. HuffPo and Buzzfeed woes - can they even be considered 'journalism'...? Wouldn't bat an eyelid if they shut their doors tomorrow...
