Sunday Newspapers

Although my wife is a champion of crossword puzzles in The Times (we have it delivered six days a week on a long term contract with Rupert) on Sundays I am single handedly making every effort to bring News Corp to its knees by buying a newspaper from other publishers.
Last week I went to a shop in Tenbury and picked up a copy of the Sunday Independent.
It took some finding as it was the only copy in the shop and it was lurking behind an Observer.
I went to the checkout where the young man commented that he thought it was the first time he had ever sold one of those.
I replied that I was not surprised as it had been a bit tricky to find. He then told me that they only ever had one delivered to the shop anyway!
He made me feel "nearly unique".
Sandra didn't much like the paper content.
