The local paper here in Greenwich seems to be 40% bed adverts, 40% house sales/lettings adverts, 15% other adverts, small ads etc, and the final 5% for actual articles. Annoying.

Free papers usually work on a quota of 15-25% editorial, including advertising features.
TRUFAX.
And trust me, it's been like that for a very long time. At least, let's say, 160 years.

Yes. And I can recite some of the recurring adverts, especially those about crazy panaceas. It reads a bit like a cross between my spam filter report mail and the General, General Thread.

I expect so, yes. It's not been the case where I've previously lived though.

That's such an ace clip. Especially the end where it's face is right up to the camera.
