Fetched my copy yesterday from the coop in Bolsover. I handed it to the cashier who dinged it and said a pound please. I passed him the subscription voucher I had, said cheers mate, and left.
Just been having a read through said paper, folded it, put it on the worktop and noticed the price £1.05
So when were the DT going to tell it's readers it's had yet another price increase.
Doesn't bother me as such. I have prepaid at a reduced price.

Sore spot with my hubby Fly - he wasn't very impressed when he bought his at the new price - don't buy it was my reply!!
-
Bet people are also miffed that it went up the week the actual paper had next to nothing in it LOL

You mean to say it generally does have stuff in it worth reading - apart from the Obits!! ::)

>> the actual paper had next to nothing in it LOL
Most weeks then. :)

A mate of mine's dad was in the obits, I didn't know he'd had passed away.
By coincidence I saw my mate in Boza this morning. At least I didn't put my foot in it and ask him how his dad was.
Many years ago whilst visiting Shirebrook market an ex fellow boza miner asked me how my dad was, I replied he's still dead.
He'd forgotten about it and I'd not seen him for some time. The look on the poor guys face :))
-
I use the online obituary announcements and light candles/messages on relatives birthdays/Christmas.
Rather do that than on facebook!!
-
Is it like chocolate and crisps?
The price goes up but there's less in it?
-
We don't buy it anymore, I only used to check obits to see if I needed to go into work next week or not!......................................Then work said I have to attend no matter what! :)) :))

It went up last week, despite me saying in Smiths "oh I thought it was going up this week$ they insisted it was still £1 so that's what I paid.
I still have a souvenier edition from the 1990s when it was 30p so it works out at an average annual increase of about 6.5%. Would be nice to have my salary index linked to it.
Strangely they don't want to debate it on their Facebook page.

You can dream on about that one slacker
