You know those Evening Standard boards that tell you the headlines. Perhaps they might entice you in to buy the new 'quality' ES rather than reading the free one with the same news. Anyway the print on those boards. Look how its hand-crafted by skilled craftsmen. Except its not. It might have been one day but its printed now. Look closely - all the 'a's and the 'e's are the same. So that pisses me off every time I see one. Its like, we'll pretend we're the old ES that had news and a Stop Press column on the back page and the wrong angle. But we're really the new massively loss making ES with no news about London and plenty of crap about women's fashion.
One more thing about the boards. The message on them is always negative. Often its negative and fatuous. Often it is not news either.
Then there's the freesheets. That Murdoch one is preferable to the Associated News one only because the typeface is easier. They're both shite. What really irks me every evening when I get off the tube there's some poor chap in a silver cagoul proffering me with this shitty excuse for loo roll. I don't want to be nasty to him but please leave me alone. If I wanted to read it I'd pay for it.
Rant over.
