c ya.

when the london lite is removed who will be hooked sufficiently to purchase a daily paper each evening?

***IT'S ONLY 30P - includes free mc d voucher worth 90p****

i think i'd re-read the metro.

Im at a loss, what an earth shall I use to line my recycling sack with, it was the perfect candidate, not too thick, not too thin, and nothing inside that made it worth the effort of opening it up.

How will Londoners ever get home with only one newslite freebiesheet to read?

Easy. They won't. There'll be no newslite freebiesheets to read as soon as the first of the two goes.

In a slightly different context, it's the story of whatever the Maxwell "24 hour" paper (was it it the London Daily News? My memory of it is a bit vague) vs the (cynically revived by the publishers of the Evening Standard scenting a threat) Evening News all over again.

Basically, this sort of content-lite freesheet has had its day in London. (Metro will, I dare say, survive)

And, unfortunately, the owners of the Evening Standard are the ones laughing...

If we had to lose one, why the one which actually had not-so-bad graphic design... ?

Kitten photo tomorrow eh?

I will kind of miss it. As someone said, the design was better. And it was nice to have a slightly different editorial slant than what the DMG (owning both Metro and the Lite) could come up with.

Not exactly a *great* loss though.

Of the two, it is certainly the better laid out and designed. I was of the impression that DMG's Lite was only brought out at the last minute to spike Murdoch's guns when he decided to start the London Paper. It shows. The layout is shocking and was obviously cobbled together in a couple of days. Anyway, I'll miss it for a day or so, but it's hardly a loss.

It's a shame about the Londonpaper - the layout and design (as people have said) is better, and (most of) the stories look like they have actually been written with some thought behind, rather than copied and pasted from the Press Association. Then again, the spelling of the name 'Lite' pretty much tells us all we need to know. Still... free distractions on the journey home - it's cat-litter tray journalism, but doesn't pretend to be anything different.

That will make 4 less annoying paper vendors to dodge outside the station every evening.

I do read the evening freesheets, particularly the somewhat amusing texts and letters pages, on the train home from work. Personally though, I also buy the Standard and I do prefer its higher quality journalism.

Not a particularly great loss, but still it's a shame that it's the slightly better of the two evening freesheets that is being discontinued.

Perhaps it's all part of Murdoch's plans to make us all pay for our news? I bet he'll be taking Sky News off Freeview next.

It clearly was the better of the two... I will be at least a little sad because I'll have less to do on my commute homewards.

I like it more than the Lite, but on the upside, at least we will never need to hear about Citygirl ever again.

Good riddance. Fed up with copies strewn all over the railway carriage every night. Nobody bothers to recycle them, so axing the title is just going to save so many thousands of trees a year. Nothing ever in it that wasnt in Metro 8 hours ago. Its a Murdoch rag.

Suggest you read a good book instead.

Absolutely perfect! I won't miss a thing now. Not that I ever read them unless I am completely bored and desperate. I also won't miss running the gauntlet of vendors between my office near Blackfriars and Canon St every day.

You've forgotten the PR-puff-disguised as-public-poll to determine best celebrity heart-throb/handbag wearer/cheese eater. Oh, don't worry - I can find them in the Guardian these days, too.

i like em... i'll miss her... she always makes me laugh out loud on the tube...

Bring back the Evening News, it was a lot better than the Standard (higher quality journalism, Andrew H? Not a lot to compare it with, to be fair) and the free comics.

Em! I forgot we'd lose her too... Three years ago her life appeared to be paralleling mine - hilarious!
