Is going up from 45 p to 65p...my pay aint going up ,so, bollox thats it after 25yrs of buying the oxford mail....good bye

Oh common, it's not that bad of a price hike.

Be faithful of Oxford Mail, they'll lament your loss! You don't want them to cry themselves to sleep at night, do you?

Thats what, an average of £1.40 extra per week? £5.60 per month, £291.20 per annum? Hmmm, maybe you should say good-bye.

You're not the bloke who spams the letter to the editor with petty moans are you?

Our local paper is 80p. Still buying it though.

The South Wales Argus is about to make exactly the same price hike.

Local rag is once a week here, 80-odd pence and they can't even spell things correctly. Its only good for seeing who's been busted or broken into. Not having it

QTC13 · 01/07/13 - 00:55

Our local paper used to be 6 days a week at 45p per day. Now it's weekly and costs £1. And in doing so lost a lot of readers.

Welsh-lad · 01/07/13 - 00:56

Mine is 80p and well worth it imo - lots of local news

NightFox_Dancer · 01/07/13 - 01:00

I never buy the local paper, it's always full of pointless trivial non-stories. One time the front page was about a local football manager eating loads of chocolate biscuits.

jeffiner1892 · 01/07/13 - 01:19

Ours is £1 a week and it's crap.

acker · 01/07/13 - 04:51

I honestly wouldnt have my local paper given to me. .....cop this for a front page headline..." Heroin Saves Girl From Blaze " and if youre not in a Civic Society or somesuch youre a total deviant.

[Deleted User] · 01/07/13 - 04:56

IN Gibraltar our local paper is six times a week and £1

Lewi26 · 01/07/13 - 05:44

The Liverpool echo is 55p Monday to Friday and 70p on a Saturday for some reason.

Who buys papers any more these days anyway? Just go online

So is mine **Super villain laugh**

grumpyscot · 01/07/13 - 14:25

I simply registered with them when there was a special offer on - got free access for life on internet!

zx50 · 01/07/13 - 14:32

That's a big jump in the price of a newspaper. I wouldn't fork out that much extra for a newspaper.

[Deleted User] · 01/07/13 - 14:46

"Local man takes umbrella to Zimbabwe" was my favourite

marcla · 02/07/13 - 15:26

My local paper has gone up to 55p, and there's naff all in it to justify buying it, Full of non stories that feature people with miserable faces. Read this paper and you'll never moan about the Daily Mail again!.
