Cumbernauld is often voted "crappest town in the UK" but the newspaper does a pretty solid job of reporting local news, rubbish as is may be. The fact that "new speed camera" was one of last week's top headlines surely proves this point. The Cumbernauld News is the place to go for coverage of Clyde Football Club who play in the Scottish Second Division.

If you know anything about the Kirkintilloch Herald - you'll know that it's never called that…read more Instead, those in the know refer to it as the Kirky Herald, which is MUCH less of a tongue-twister.

The paper covers a range of local news stories, relating to the area, local businesses and local people. It's the kind of newspaper which will print an article about someone from the area reaching the dizzy heights of the second round of X-Factor, as well as news stories about local events.

As is the case with all Johnston Press papers, the Kirkintilloch Herald (or Kirky Herald as the…read moreprevious reviewer correctly pointed out) leans slightly towards the safer side of reporting. Hard news, investigative pieces and groundbreaking interviews are unlikely to feature much in a weekly issue, but then again you simply cannot expect that from a local paper in this day in age. Instead, the Herald generally continues to do what it does best, publicising local events and working with the community for the good of Kirkintilloch. Offering some particularly well-deserved exposure for local junior side, Kirkintilloch Rob Roy, it's a decent local paper and one which deserves to survive for years to come.

The reason that I don't give this card-a-riffic factory more stars is just the lack of the good quality cards. There isn't any of the high quality stuff that you can get in places like Birthdays. However there are balloons and plenty of them. The card factory is good for a quick card for that occasion you forgot, and why not get a magnet with the birthday girls name on it, or even a cup. Pretty cheap and loads of other nik naks to palm someone off on their birthday if you have forgotten to buy good things.
