I'm amazed The Mercury print edition is still available. It can only be a matter of time.

Circulation now down to an average 7301. Sales have dropped 60% in 5 years, no doubt due to the fact that most of the news isn't local any more.

The Mercury takes its non-Hertfordshire news reporting to another level.

After reporting news from Luton and Enfield recently, today they put this online:

Come on, you're being unfair, Folkestone is only 90 miles away, you could drive there in just under 2 hours! :lol:
