For God sake man, get a grip and stop posting that about every subject, I don't know if you think it's funny but seriously, it's not.
On the topic of the programme, I thought it was outrageous. When the seller told me it was £3 I asked if he was being serious. A5, not glossy and not as well produced, but for the same price. VERY cheeky in my opinion, and their sales are going to drop as a result.
Ok read, but not as good as recent years. I've never been a fan of these mini programmes. Still, F-Block took over the programme today with two stories on a single page, so job done
I think the non glossy finish is actually meant to be better quality, a little more sophisticated than a bog standard glossy finish. I'll leave it to NSC print experts, but is that not a matt varnish on the cover? Having said that, the size reduction is obviously a cost cutting excersise, but it does go in your pocket better.
