Anyone had their free copy of the Sun?

Apparently every household is expected to receive a special World Cup edition of the newspaper today. Unless you live in Liverpool, as that has been excluded from the delivery schedule!

Postal workers are threatening to strike rather than deliver it. It stems back to the paper's reporting of the Hillsborough disaster in which it 'blamed drunken supporters'.

It's going straight into my compost bin if it reaches here, and knowing our postie we will get far more copies than our 6 flats need.

What a waste of paper, energy and money!!!

Edited to correct a word.

World Cup? Have I missed something? I'm in computer server migrate mode and have been for a while now. Seems the world and it's issues are passing me by as a consequence. Oh, and I don't follow footie at all. I take it it is related to 'footie'?
