Are you still receiving your weekly Star Courier? Ours has suddenly stopped? Has anyone else had the same thing happen?

Ours stopped a couple of years ago when the last paperboy (my son) retired. To be honest they paid such a pittance for a job which is time consuming and unpleasant in the winter months I'm suprised they get any self respecting teenager to do it. Many hours were spent filling papers with all the junk mail before taking to the streets to deliver.

My son has never been replaced. I think they should review what is paid to youngsters. They don't expect to become rich delivering papers but the money paid when he was delivering was certainly not a fair rate for the work involved.

Rant finished.....

We have the same problem - very intermittent delivery although we never have the 'royal' call from their distribution department. You are very lucky! And they wonder why local papers are struggling to survive? I would suggest the first rule is to make sure its delivered to readers. That's always a good place to start....

STRANGELY like a surreal miracle ours has appeared again. It defies logic and reason. Do you think they just stick a pin in the map to choose where it's delivered that week?
