The Kraken Posted 22 June, 2012 Share Posted 22 June, 2012 Is the answer "ooh Terry Hurlock"? I haven't got the Guardian so I don't know what the clue is. I imagine I'm right, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 22 June, 2012 Share Posted 22 June, 2012 After reading the OP, I just turned to look at the Quick Crossword on the back of G2 (that's the Guardian's daily supplement for all our plebby tabloid readers) and the clue for 24 across on that is: Arrogant - Pompous (4, 3, 6) That's Saints related too as the answer is clearly "Dune and Alpine".

It's got pictures too, you know. Maybe not ones with big boobs, and it's perhaps a little to the left of the Daily Fail, but what isn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really read the newspapers, but then that's typical of the situation the industry is in. Hardly anyone reads papers these days and there can't be much life left in them.

buctootim Posted 22 June, 2012 Share Posted 22 June, 2012 (edited) Around 9 million copies of paid for morning newspapers sold each day and another 1.5 million evening. Readership is around 50% higher than circulation - so around 16 million each day. Not exactly "hardly anyone" Edited 22 June, 2012 by buctootim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
