What's going on? HJ's piece in the Torygraph is getting smaller and smaller.
It used to spread over most of two pages, now it is down to half a page - less various headings etc. I don' know what it comes to in column inches, but much less than it was, that is for sure.
HJ, is this the shape of things to come? I really enjoy your piece in the DT, but my enjoyment nowadays is not so longlived.

Might it be that he has covered every motoring topic of interest, perhaps more than once, in the last 6 years?

The DT seems to be undergoing a great and IMO unnecessary change - many long established contributors going, and some less than welcome ones joining. Not only in the motoring section.

drbe,
You couldn't be talking about the ginger one in black could you.

would have to agree not sure i like the new writers in the motoring section HJ the only thing worth reading.
|
Could it be that HJ is off to sunnier climes for some diving and thus has written less so there's less to publish.
As for the motoring section in general, I quite like Jason Barlow's articles. The rest can be hit/miss but then so are all the rest of the motoring supplements. Were it not for Clarkson, I'd not bother with Driving in the Sunday Times.

The Saturday DT generally seemed leaner and fitter today - unless the newsboy inadvertantly stuffed bits of it into the box of some subscriber to a "liberal" or "independent" rag, he can certainly achieve the reverse process.
No bad thing if they were all cut back, actually, there is a great waste of paper.
I don't want to miss HJ, though!

The D.T. is also getting greedy! I subscribe to the Crossword society, as buying the paper in Spain is a no no because of the cost. Last years subscription was a tenner - OK I thought. My renewal e-mail is asking for £25 reduced to £ 20 if I renew promptly! Rip off Britain is alive and well, it seems!
