Eek! Paper prices have shot through the roof! Well, actually we knew this a while ago but we’ve been hiding our heads in the sand waiting for the wheeling and dealings of the paper mills and printers to be finalised. It’s not pretty.

Cutting down trees is environmentally unpopular - and criminally expensive. Yet books provide more lasting entertainment than newspapers or magazines which use infinitely more paper. I say, Save a Tree, Buy a Book. And forego those free London papers for a few nights. Do you really need to see another Z list’s knickers?
