I have had many dealings with Metro over the years. I have called on them to publicise events on…read morequite a number of occasions, and they've always come through for me, and the organisations I've been representing. When I lived out at Coed Hills Rural Artspace last year, I called on them again to help spread the word about a fundraising event to be held at this 'not for profit' organisation. As always, they came up with the goods, even though they had undergone a series of regional rationalisations and were down to a skeletal staff in the provinces of South West England and Wales. Everyone I have ever dealt with at Metro has been more than gracious... they are downright, upstanding, lovely people! Over the last couple of years I have relied very much on a chap called Velmir, and never a more professional and all-round good guy there was. He used to be based at the address in Bristol below, but I've just done a search on the internet to see if these offices are still around... nothing came up! Velmir, if you are still out there, i send you my very best! So! What of Metro? What can I say? It's free. It's exceptionally well informed, and it's daily. It features loads of stuff that's of real interest, and as well as being colourful it's really well laid out... Best of all, their listings are always on the money! The only thing is, I have no idea how they do it! Clearly they deploy some kind of magic! METRO Bristol News & Media Temple Way Bristol BS99 7HD

The Metro is a great paper. The best thing about it, is that it's free :) other than it being…read morefree, it's informative, and it always has a quirky story on the 3rd page. The always have light hearted articles running throughout. There are celebrity pages on in the inside, sports pages at the back, readers comments, travel updates and holiday ads on the back pages. The main reason I pick up the Metro is down to Nemi, Nemi is fantastic, it is my favorite comic strip (next to Snoopy) she is really funny. On the same page as Nemi you will get some cool games to play if you are bored on the train :) You can pick up the train at pretty much every tube station in London, normally these run out in the morning so be quick :P As Coralia mentioned an E version is available, if you have an iphone, it is available for download. Note: the ink does rub off on your hands :( rubber gloves might help stop that though or the E version ;) After you have read your paper you can do many things with it, you can keep your hair dry if it suddenly starts to rain by placing the paper on your head, you can make some paper aeroplanes, you can use it as a pee mat for your dog or alternatively you can put it in the recycle bin at work :)

i'm really sorry for yelping about this ten days late!!!…read moredidn't strike me at that time to yelp about it at all!! my bad! anyway, they were giving away green and black's organic easter eggs (maya gold) - 180g, apparently worth 5.99, for free with your purchase of the evening standard. i was initially told by a colleague about it but did not dash out to grab my copy of it. after all, it's only the evening standard. it was only on my return from lunch and exiting from the tube station at gloucester rd that i chanced upon the offer. 50p for the egg and paper??? a no brainer if you ask me!:) it was only later that i found out i've been ripped off! if you showed your oyster card, you get the evening standard at only 25p!!!!!!!!!LOL nonetheless, do look out for the evening standard next year, around easter time!!!:)

The Evening Standard is a publication I feel positive towards. I've won their Mini Codeword…read morecompetition twice. First time it was so funny. I won a pampering spa day for two at Bannatyne's in Essex somewhere. My Australian friend and I had a three quarters of a hour massage and then were able to use the swimming pool. Next I've won a 'Charming Hotel Stay' in the UK which I will book when my friend is over in the Summer. To top it all I've finally won the Sudoku £50 prize! It's quite difficult the Sudoku in the Standard and there comes a point where I have to start guessing and either it works out correct or it doesn't. But I've finally won it! They lose one star from me because their regular columnists come out with the same old boring Liberal-Left Blairite drivel about how marvellous the EU and diversity is day after day. Time to get a UKIP columnist to spice things up a bit and give some balance instead of the same old cracked records. They are however very good for publishing readers' texts having a go at the health fascists over smoking - they even published one of mine once. I've used the ES to buy shares by looking at the year high and year low values. I haven't made a fortune but I'm up.// Oh I've just upgraded my stars to five for the ES even if it is full of Blairite toss! I've won the most fantastic day of Tennis, hospitallity and a knock around with Pat Cash himself through them and Hackett, Bishopsgate!! Certainly up there with one of the best prizes I've ever won!

Staff are efficient, and it's often busy (lots of people paying their paper bills, so they must have an extensive service of paper rounds).
