Hi Parky,



When in the UK I read the weekend Cyprus Today, when in Cyprus I buy all three.

We buy all three. Think The Star has improved greatly since it first started.

Rocking. Yes, it is the advertisement - sorry, newspaper of the Medview man.

And it's bloody awful. Poor grammar. I saw a friend's copy last week and couldn't make head nor tail what the stories were about.

Cyprus Today for me. And both when I'm here.

I get both Cyprus Today's partly for Stephen Day and Tom Roache.



I also take Cyprus Star for a different view of the news.

So glad someone says they read Cyprus Observer. Once considered a 'good read' and still has its fans, although not all the shops sell it! But it does have a good crossword and some sensible political thinking. It is of a different ilk to the other two.

Lots buy C.T for TV porogrammes etc, and the Star is definitely appealing to a broader section of the community.



Try them all for a good cross section view of N.Cyprus.



Or be like many of us - don't buy any, just read them on the shelves, just like a lot of folk in U.K do in W.H.Smiths.

I think the Star has improved greatly since Dan took over as editor. Its nice to read a story from a different angle sometimes.
