Default SUNDAY TIMES RIPOFF MERCHANTS

That's it .... I've stopped buying the Sunday Times from here-on out.

Over the last two years they have increased the price from £1.50 to £2 which is about 5 times the rate of inflation.

OK, I like it for the fairly unbiassed coverage (unlike the Telegraph they conceal fairly well their feeling that the sun shines out of the Conservative Party's bottom). The financial pages are as perspicatious as any other paper which tries to conceal that none of them knows how the markets work, couching retrospective analysis in terms of knowledgeable foresight. For a heely, of course, the Style magazine is topping on the cake, giving some indication of the good-looking shoes on the market (amongst a whole load of fashionista trivia).

But now, you have cooked your goose. Not only can I obtain the information elsewhere, but your nasty cheap ploy to get me to buy 4 newspapers instead of the one which would have the bumper A/W edition of Style has annoyed me so intensely that you can go to hell.
