Reading the papers


I was on the train, going to a gig in Edinburgh last week. Being bit bored and with no signal on my phone to harass my friends with text messages, I found myself a copy of the Metro.

For those that don’t know – The Metro is a free “newspaper” given out on all public transport in Glasgow and Edinburgh. It is basically pretty badly written/laid out and if it had a slogan, would be:

“YESTERDAY’S NEWS (and other uninteresting stories) TODAY”

I have posted an image of the front page, which states

“Doctors: Don’t let under-21s buy drink”

That is terrible advice, how often have you gone to your GP’s for a bottle of wine?

If you’re that drunk you are trying to buy alcohol from a doctor – I reckon you shouldn’t be allowed to buy ANY more drink…whether you’re 21 or not.
