Well never assume, it makes an ass out of u and me! I do read a lot of material from a wide range of sources, I find it useful to understand what's going on. But claiming I read the Mail is an exaggeration, I skim through headlines online, and dip in occasionally where its not behind a pay wall.

I may well be classed as middle class, though I was brought up on a Council estate by hard working parents, 6 of us in a 3 bedroom house actually. But of course I'm not a SAD middle class reader. I can proudly state I have never paid for a copy of the Daily Mail.

Which reminds me of a time I embarrassed a work colleague who was ostensibly a quite serious left wing feminist, who I caught reading the Daily Mail and found out she did so daily, by asking why with her personal views she was reading and supporting a paper that was the very anthesis of what she believed in. She looked very sheepish.
