I have just looked at your link Aka and right at the end is Ed Miliband with a big smile on his face holding up his free copy.
I rest my case !

"I await to see how the Attorney General will enforce the law but until then, I'm sure Royal Mail will take the precautionary approach and halt distribution until the situation is clarified by Dominic Grieve."

Bit late now! grin

The Sun is breaking the law by doing this and may face huge fines

You didn't really miss much GrannyTwice . I received my copy today. Hardly worth any fuss at all as it's so thin and there's nothing in it.

Not so much a Sun sunshine more like a Half Moon moon I would say. grin

If you are sending it back the address is: FREEPOST, The Sun, London E98 1AX

Or send it back page by page...

Did not get one here in Surrey either... thought I'd line it with something heavy rwrap a brick in it then send it back!

Mine will be on its way back tomorrow. I've rolled it up in the cardboard tube from a loo roll - seemed suitable somehow grin

DS looked at ours shock apparently it's 90% football. It's going back tomorrow.

When we bought this house 40 years ago the loo 'paper' was The Church Times neatly cut up.

Obviously there are some of them on here! grin

I know someone who misses that awful Izal(?sp) stuff. There are still people around who fondly reminisce about outside loos and loo paper on a string!

Ana Thu 12-Jun-14 20:50:17

Why would you want to subject your bum to scratchy newsprinted paper? shock

grin Having done a survey amongst my friends, the Liverpool area seems to have missed out hugely. I hadn't mentioned to anyone, but the reactions when I did were exactly the same as on here! Tearing it up for loo paper, using it to line the budgie cage and sending it back were all mentioned. Most have torn it up and added it to the compost heap or put it in the recycling.

You aren't missing anything, it really is a waste of a good tree.

grin
YES YOU ARE!!!
I have had to go amd buy a b****y hamster so thatI I can not even line its cage with it!!

HildaW Thu 12-Jun-14 19:28:35

You can have mine......but its gone straight in the recycle bin!

janreb Thu 12-Jun-14 19:26:37

We didn't get one either - I was looking forward to sending it back.

Charleygirl Thu 12-Jun-14 18:49:59

Would you like mine?! I can easily retrieve it from the waste paper bin.

GrannyTwice Thu 12-Jun-14 16:51:39

Oh dear - time to thrive again on being outraged at not having the chance to send it back.....
