Did anyone else see the A34/Boat story appear on two different pages in last week's Newbury Weekly News? Uploaded with ImageShack.usWas it just me or was that EXACTLY the same story word for word. Huge mistake?

Does ANYBODY AT ALL now PROOFREAD the Newbury Weekly News?? Jonathan, instead of habitually whining and whingeing on here about the NWN, why not call Brien Beharrell on 01635 564526, the Editorial Director, and tell him what you think, letting us know how you get on? You obviously feel so strongly about the matter, give it a go.

You would not in fact have to even have read much of the second duplicate to see it was a duplicate!
This newspaper has gotten so sloppy it hurts.
I know spelling was a problem but this one takes the biscuit.
I hope we don't see it a third time on Thursday but nothing would surprise me now... Would a second duplicate be a third copy?

There their, loose loser!

You obviously feel so strongly about the matter, give it a go. Do you know what forums are for? They are for people to give their opinions, debate and yes, even whine and whinge (which most people do on here anyway). Without that you've got a dead forum. Forums are about expressing oneself to a wider audience. Relieving ones grievances on an open forum will do more good that either a private phone call or an email or letter; as all three can be easily ignored. Also; putting it on a forum will allow like minded people - who have the same concerns about the NWN's or whatever - to form a stronger voice than ones individual voice. Finally; any good newspaper would welcome their readers concerns and if they are justified and deal with them in an appropriate manner so that they can present a better paper (unless of course the paper has a monopoly and isn't worried what their readership thinks).

Quite right GMR. Hugh - can I just take issue with your naming of individuals: It doesn't seem quite right naming individuals as you are. If someone posts under a psudonym isn't it generally the done thing to respect their choice of anonymity and use that name even when you know their real-world identity?

Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!
