Being overseas it's a bit awkward to peruse the English dailies so I do a fair bit of news browsing on-line. As I settled into my usual Sunday routine the partaking of a bacon & egg toasted butty lathered with butter & HP, all accompanied with a big mug of tea. I began my scrutiny of the daily propaganda on display in the "Sunday Torygraph". After plodding through various niff, naff & trivia, looking to my next tale of woe, I was confronted with a pop up informing me I'd reached my limit of 20 free reads for the Month & should I wish to continue, I should subscribe & start paying, yes paying GBP 1.99 per month ......... 
Now I'm assuming this must be a new thing as its never happened to me before (honestly
). So I went elsewhere for my news, "The Independent" actually & as far as I know there was no limitations on their free browsing. So has anyone else had this happen, or is this to be the the future of newspaper reading ? If so, not only will the decline of sales of the dailies on the high street persist, but I believe the on-line audience will also dry up leaving the transfer of information to the tv networks, not ideal in my view.

Come to think of it, you can't swat skeeters with 'em either.
