I've just checked and on 1st January 2000, the YEP would have cost you 30p.So todays price of 42p represents an increase of 40%, which whilst not a doubling in price is still simply scandalous profiteering. Something must be done!

Haven't bought it for years.Read it online before it's printed next day.Annoying thing is when there's an accident they show a pic of an ambulancePolice incident = Police car picThey could save on ink and not bother.

Hopefully it will go the way of MEN and Evening Standard and be handed out free but loaded with advertising. The Metro is not a bad paper and as long at the YEP has LUFC in it and letters by Bothered from Bramley I'll read it.What they need to stop doing is pretending to do car reviews in the "Motoring" supplement and paying eejits like McPhee to air their frankly pointless observations.Metro print syndicated interviews with interesting folk and generally repor the news without any kind of bias (albeit straight from the wire)

What day is jobs day in the Evening Pest now? I was thinking it used to be thursday but i grabbed today's and there was the skinnyest jobs suppliment, and then when i opened it it was only 2 pages with another suppliment inside that Someone tell me that wasn't it?Not that i care to buy it at all, but i'm about to be made redundent, and perhaps favour hypocrisy over unemployment.

Sadly it is still Thursday - it's just there are very slim pickings about at the moment. I would imagine they've lost a lot of the recruitment side to online (like Monster) and agencies - there seems to be a trend in paying someone else to line up interviews lately.Good luck with your job hunt!

When I was a kid in Calverley, households were divided between the YEP or Bradford's Telegraph & Argus. We were YEP, (altho' Dad now gets the T & A), even though he used to work on the Yorkshire Post. The Yorkshire Evening News didn't seem to feature in any households I knew.Back in the 1950s there was a regular anti-smoking correspondent who signed himself (or herself) "Fresh Air, Shadwell". Gained quite a cult following. There was also a series of sketches of Yorkshire locations by an artist called 'Thack', and every year a small paperback book of them would be published.BTW, Dad, a retired printing compositor & newspaperman grumbles about the state of the T & A, so it's not just the YEP.
