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.
