I'm sick of arriving at the station after 8.30 and finding all the Metro
newspapers gone.
I'm really happy to find that there are some left by others on the train.

Additionally, because I commute arse-about-face (live in zone 2 but work
in zone 6) I'm also grateful to people who leave the evening papers on the
train, even though I sometimes have to race the very efficient cleaning
staff to them.

Thank you to all who leave papers on trains and the staff who make sure
they get taken off at the terminus.

At least thanks to those who leave them neatly folded. Not so much to the
ones who leave a mess of papers strewn about that wind up on the floor the
first time the doors move open/close.

Why dont you just buy a newspaper? You do realise the Daily Star has more
editorial comment than the Metro which has none.

The Metro presumably gets paid by its advertisers for wasting as many
trees as possible, ie by getting each individual person to take one
out of the rack as proof of circulation.

The way to both save trees and to reduce the profitability of all this
litter and environmental damage is to ensure that everyone who wants
to read one can find one on the train instead of having to take more
of them out of the rack.

Maybe because what I want from a newspaper is news, not comment.

Because I've already listened to yesterday's news yesterday, and today's
news today on Radio 4 before I catch the train.

I just want some vacuous crap to save me from viciously murdering my fellow
passengers, since I forgot to chuck a book in my bag. Metro fits the bill
nicely.

The only thing Metro (and the other ghastly freesheets) is good for is
stuffing it in my boots to help dry them out after I get back from a
weekend up some random damp mountain. So I'd like to issue a plea for
them to be banned on every day except Sundays so that they're available
when I need them and at no other time.

Of course, what this really means is that I should buy some new boots
that don't leak.

I think it's great that when I get on the Tube, there's a selection of
reading material available.

Why cant people take them with them?

They probably can, but they leave them as a courtesy to other
passengers.

I suppose this, like whether mobile phone conversations are allowed on
the train, is just one of those areas where you can't please everyone.
