The Sunday Times ... or is it?

[wellinghall]

I walked round to the shop to buy our usual Sunday Times. Leaving, I opened the platic around the magazine sections, and took one out to leaf through on the way home. Hmm, different front cover, must have had a redesign. Hmm, different content too ... hold on, this is from the Sunday Telegraph! As, indeed, all the magazine sections are.

Back to the shop; talk to the assistant; he checks the other copy of the Times on the shelf, only to find that it, too, has the Telegraph magazine sections in. And there were no copies of the Telegraph left on the shelf. But he went into the storeroom, and found me a Times bundle.

And one of the newspaper sections has Brian May on the cover. It's the home and garden section.

That could well explain it. So how many copies are affected, we wonder? 2 or 2,000?

Was the newspaper actually shrink-wrapped with the supplements, or were the supplements shrink-wrapped separately?

My experience is that the supplements get delivered in separate bundles and then need to be put into the papers, and it's not unheard of for the wrong supplements to go in the wrong papers, particularly when the person doing it is half-awake - no, it never happened to me, obviously not guv. ;-)

The latter - the supplements were wrapped separately.
