Evidence: | 'Sometimes I read the paper in the morning train, after a casual glance at breakfast time. More usually I read it lunchtime and in the train home at night. The morning paper lasts me all day and I get a good general idea of the news in this way and can usually say I have heard of most items which different people mention. When I read the news in the morning train I read casually and finish with the paper in the twenty odd minutes. When reading lunchtime and evening I read more thoroughly, also at week-ends.' |
