The S*n on sale in Liverpool
« on: June 30, 2023, 07:59:23 am »
I live a mile from Anfield.

As I was leaving for work this morning, I saw a skinny little bald prick scurrying towards the door of our building in the rain. I held the door for him, as you do, until I looked down and saw he had a copy of the rag neatly folded in his arms.

I didn’t really know what to say in the moment, my mouth just dropped open and I let go of the door I was holding and pushed past him.

My question is, how the fuck is this still happening? Sainsbury’s selling it under the counter?

It’d be interesting to see what their sales in Liverpool are like. Plenty of thick gobshites would have no qualms buying it.

Sadly Sainsbury's and others have previous for under the counter sales.

You could hold your nose and ask for a copy from shops then slap a don't buy sticker on top then find your neighbour and sticker his door.

My in-laws live in Brighton so enjoy a visit as more like a holiday but always saddened and sickened by how many copies I see around.

Plenty of people outside the city are annoyed when they visit and can't find a copy.  :butt

Personally, I'd feel more comfortable striding up to the counter in Sainsbury's with a copy of Men Only under my arm. Likely has better quality, well researched articles in it.

Does Men Only still have the ‘Reader’s Wives’ section?

I tried to find out and only got an article saying they'd made their numbers private since 2020, which going by the numbers for other papers was when things were in a downturn so hopefully the rag and its sibling papers are suffering the same fate.

Couldn't tell you mate. Like with most publications you can usually find similar quality online these days.

Cept Effes maybe...

Not sure mate, I’ve seen him about here and there but never spoken to him. He defo lives in our building. Don’t think it’s any excuse even if he wasn’t born here, like.

Don't live in Liverpool anymore so the overt selling of it in shops still shocks me.

I like to cover it up with other newspapers where I can. If it stops one person seeing and buying that rag it's a win.

Mad being here and anyone falls for that rag

I put a DONT BUY THE S*N sticker on my geet and cause I live by Sefton Park now started to think does it look stupid like I am trying to fit in who needs told this really

There's them that needs told. And we must represent..

Those sticker packs. I had the green TORY LIVES COST LIVES one in with em, I put it on my wallet

So I've been getting my wallet out with TORY LIVES COST LIVES on it for like 18 months now - it's started to wear off, it's actually ruining the look of the wallet at this point

But you know how many people across Liverpool, Manchester, Chester and Sofia and a few bars in between, how many people saw that sticker and said something?

0.

If you reckon nobody noticed then you can be bolshy in yer own way  ;D
