I can see it? We pay to get the Sydney Morning Herald delivered and can read it for free online, just looked up Adelaide Now and can read it.

Hey LL sweetie, every time you post you should be putting this warning up first of all to warn us all of what we already know.

🙂

and here is a great T-shirt for you to have made up and wear, maybe the shuggs can get one made for you.

It certainly does sum up your posts well and your happy and cheerful personality, doesnt it LL sweetie.... Black in that T-shirt would look great on you

🙂

I saw that news.com.au was still free - seemed a bit odd given I could link off the adelaidenow page.

Adelaide Now "allowed" me to view 5 articles gratis before hitting me up for a subscription.

I've got The Age on my tablet, well that's at least half entertaining (and free)

News gave out free 'trial' subscriptions, some seem to keep going at least a year (maybe until the election 😉 )

If I browse my local newspaper online, there is a long narrow advt over the first paragraph or two, so you can't read the whole article properly

However, if I look at the same newspaper on my mobile phone, there is nothing blocked/covered.
