It cannot be right (Sun £9.50 train vouchers)

that those who buy the Sun have no chance of getting them because people who don't buy the Sun have grabbed them all the day before, can it?

    It's not a loyalty offer, that would require the collection of vouchers. It's for whoever buys the relevant issues. First come first served.

    It would take more than a cheap rail ticket get me to buy that rag.

    But that's my point.

    It's been snapped up by people who haven't bought the papers.
  • You wouldn't want sun readers armed with travel documents would you, best to keep them static I say.

    Ahh such snobbery towards Sun readers.............

    If you look at the readership mix you will see that the Sun has more readers from the higher socioeconomic groups that the Guardian....

    Not snobbery, more common sense. Particularly when you consider it's part of News International.

    So you have the same snobbery/common sense against readers of the Sunday Times and people who view Sky Arts?
