Eh think you will realise that these people are resident in the USA so kind of difficult to nip down to the local newsagent to buy a copy :D
If, after all, men cannot always make history have meaning, they can always act so that their own lives have one.

Could save money in postage and time (not to mention (or maybe I'm mentioning) that people could see fresh news instead of days old news and might save a tree or two) by letting people subscribe and read over the net. :lol:

That is exactly what we did, signed up to get the Courier updated in your e-mail! But it has not been updated for a good long while!

April 14, 2006 to be exact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock:

The reason many newspapers will not do online subscriptions, as far as I know, is that those will not be counted as actual newspaper sales.

Until this changes, or publishers can be persuaded that 'actual' sales won't drop too much and they could in effect increase their 'real' sales, online subscriptions won't happen for papers like The Courier.

Don't worry no time to but will try to continue as much as we can on here.

Trying to persuade others to help out but no offers.. :cry:

Alot of news can be found on the web anyway but the Courier is always good for news and alot of the stuff I read there I follow up and post on here.

Oddly enough, there has been a vast improvement in the news coverage over the last two weeks :shock: :wink: :wink:
