A quick question...

Hi All (especially Iggy)

The ones June gave you are the right `serious' ones. You'd want to 
consider The Sun, The Daily Mail (called the Mail), The Daily 
Express (called the Express) if you want tabloids.

Moving the other way, The Finacial Times is a broadsheet that has a 
deeper focus on business news. It's very dry but is printed on 
distictive pink paper

If it's a Sunday then The Times becomes The Sunday Times (and is 
enormous) and The Guardian becomes The Observer.

In the olden days, many of these papers had different names, e.g. 
The Guardian was The Manchester Guardian. Some also have nick-names, 
e.g. The Guardian was known as The Grauniad becase of its terrible 
spell checking.

While the big UK papers are all national, there is another London 
paper of note. The (London) Evening Standard is often read by 
commuters travelling home since it contains news that broke after 
the national dailys were printed.

Cheers,

Dumbledad.
