Would you add anything to this list?

Lilygran - good question. Most newspapers have 'magazine' sections now and that is why - if I buy a paper at all - I buy the I which has the news without the 'fluff', though it still has the Independent's puzzles. It's ideal for a train journey.

It is OK, Sel My own fault for not cancelling the account - but just occasionally a message which needs an answer.

Receiving spam addressed to him is just a pinprick when everyhing in the house reminds me of him, not that I need reminding.

Anno I like the i, too - bite sized, and perfect for a catch up. I, like many others, read a range of newspapers, both in the flesh, as it were, and online. The Guardian seems best to fit with my thinking, though. I skip over the bits that don't interest me (much as I do with Gransnet, really).

I'm always impressed with how how thoughtful and well-read (funny and witty, too) some of our posters are!

Thank you Bags.

I actually read The Guardian regularly and enjoy and get informed by articles by many of the excellent contributors.

I liked his comment about holidays.
I like going away for a weekend or a few days, but anything that involves cancelling newspapers, leaving key with friend, working out the optimum combination of clothes needed for various weather conditions, packing said clothes, making sure everything in the fridge has been eaten and not wasted, the houseplants and greenhouse plants have been watered, washing and ironing done, the bills paid, other paperwork is up-to-date, and hanging round in airports leaves me wondering why I bother, unless of course it's to see my grandchildren

Following on from the above, the one thing I'd add is 'There's no place like home'

And 'there's nothing like your own bed'

Agree Ana

Quite agree Ana. My own pillow too, but I travel with that!

Ana seconded.

Good job we are all different - I love my little home in the mountains, but if I could I would travel even more than I already do. I am so used to packing I don't even need to think about it. There is so much to see in the world, and so little time!

Greatnan I agree with you about the getting up and going 'to see the world'. Wherever that is!. So no need to finish reading what doesn't 'grab'. I admit that 'drivel' was probably a tad stronger than was necessary and, perhaps, stronger than I intended.
