I read the Mail for the health scares, at least one a week.

My preferred paper is the Independent.

They have a corrections column on a Saturday, I love it.

If any pedant (sorry, person who prefers correct English) wants a good read (and a laugh) the book 'Troublesome Words' by Bill Bryson is very enlightening. He wrote it when a young sub-editor on the Times (when it WAS the Thunderer) about 30 years ago, and a new edition was published a couple of years ago.

Independant or Telegraph if I want to find out what is going on in the world.

If I want a laugh the I read the sun, a very funny paper, do they ever get it right?

oh ok

no one should ever read the Mail unless it's for a laugh

it's dangerous (IMHO)

How come no-one reads the Grauniad?

My boss does - I have to buy it for him every day.
