British Newspapers?

Post by Beesknees » 28th Feb, '10, 07:25

Is it possible to buy British newspapers in Singapore or is there the photocopy and deliver service that we enjoyed in Dubai for newspapers?
Thank you

There is some sort of service, my mate has it. However, I just read the internet and save the paper.

Any chance you can get the details for me? I've searched the internet with no luck.
Thank you

Hope that helps!

It was great being able to get a locally printed edition of the Times in Dubai. Pity they don't do that here

The International Herald tribune and The Economist are the only newspapers worth reading these days. Them plus whatever passes for a local rag where you currently are (the Dire Straits here, for instance).

I agree. I'm addicted to the NYT crossword that comes with my IHT.
A woman walked into a pub and asked the barman for a double entendre. So he gave it to her.

Me too.

I miss the British Sunday papers - Times, Guardian, Observer. Get up early, buy the papers, have brekkie on the way home then back to bed to indulge in a reading fest. Lovely!

And continute to read throughout the week. :)

That's what I was hoping to find in Singapore but I've just got the prices through from the website that Fat Bob recommended. Too expensive.

I just get the torygraph crossword books. I got the Daily Mail book, but the crosswords are far too easy.
