The price of Nairnshire's living national treasure rises to 45p this week, a staggering price rise of 12.5%! Despite that it is, as usual, compulsive reading.
There's news on the front page of a letter that Dr Joan Noble has written to the main mannie at Highland Council. She's setting aboot them again on the issue of Sandown-Delnies and the potential impact on the Common Good Fund. Issues that never went away Gurnites. Joan Noble has not held back and tells it like many others think it is - just add all that to the continuing down-trodden look of the town centre along the A96 and you have a powerful political cocktail that will still be there (like the drink in last night's glass) for everyone to savour at the May elections to the Highland Council.
Get informed, read the articles and Iain Bain's editorial and if you feel motivated enough why not get yourself up to Nairn Academy tomorrow night at 7.30 p.m. (Tuesday) where the Suburban Community Council has the Sandown Lands on the agenda and is asking "Development - what does the Community want?" We already know Highland Council have their ideas - can there be a compromise between the local authority and the community or will there be another winter of extreme discontent in Nairn?
Amount of death announcements hasn't gone up though, can't think of anything else that would warrant such a price hike, colour, on-line presence? Have they hired a photographer maybe or increased the number of pages - nope
ReplyDeleteThats almost 10 pence a PAGE!
ReplyDelete12.5% more news?
ReplyDeleteHard to stretch it longer than the two minute silence
I'm looking forward to the new Sunday edition myself, apparently it will take all of 4 minutes to read including the magazine
16 pages @ 10p = £1.60 :-)
ReplyDeleteStop your bloody whinging for 9 years the price of The Nairnshire Telegraph was 40p its only gone up by 5p, get a life & anonymous its clear your favourite subject at school was not arithmetic.
ReplyDeleteleave our Nairnshire alone
ReplyDeleteAt least they don't do phone hacking like all the dailys that some single brain cell people read on a daily basis. Why do people pay daily to read the same news as yesterday but just with different names, and news which is mostly made up?
long live the LOCAL independant paper,another thing Nairn people should be proud of,if you want to why dont you pay double the price for the snekie/moray/blah/blah
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the paper boy that delivers The Nairnshire Telegraph after 30 years service will get a pay rise.
ReplyDelete"sometimes silly, sometimes serious but hopefully giving a flavour of life in our community"
ReplyDeleteJust watch the large crowd that assembles on a Monday night at The Nairnie office for their early fix & if the delivery is running that little bit late you can see some of them suffering from withdrawal symptoms, but as soon as the publication arrives the punters have a new lease of life when they get a whiff of the ink & newsprint.
ReplyDeleteYeiks... that paper boy must be 30 years plus, its time he got a real job!!
ReplyDeletethey,ll nae get 45p frae me fer a wee paper wi nowt init except adds,wonder how everyone dies weekly in alphabetical order,,,,,,,,strange.

Bill [Meanie] i bet he is that tight you could not get The Nairnshire through the cheeks of his arse, & i bet he is frightened
ReplyDeleteto fart in case he starves.
I notice that there is now a Nairnshire Telegraph url registered. As an expat in Amsterdam and away from Nairn most of the year, I am very hopeful!
ReplyDeleteSee http://www.nairnshiretelegraph.com/
Perhaps the Gurn can offer some more info on this?
It has "just been registered" for several years now anon :-)
