- Under the stewardship of the absurd Andrew Neil, the
- Sunday Times has become an over-sized tabloid, purveyor
- of mindless tittle-tattle concerning the royal family,
- and other nonentities. The Sunday morning dilemma now
- concerns the Observer and the Independent On Sunday.

- Nevertheless, it was our esteemed fellow netter and pseudo-Finn, Marko
- Amstell (but isn't that a Beer?) who was commenting on the Book Reviews
- in the SUNDAY TIMES. Can you bring me -- and perhaps others -- up to date
- and explain just where the INDEPENDENT came from and isn't there also
- this EUROsomething paper?
