I popped into town today and picked up the Independent but after flicking through it I've realised that it's yesterdays paper. D'oh. If any of you guys could post more details on this it would be appreciated!

ditto from me. There's no way in God's good earth that I'd ever pay money for the Indo, so if someone can post the details, it would be much appreciated.
