Moving out soon, Can you get any british news papers in Dubai? is there any local papers worth reading? Cheers guys!
Yes, you can get loads of British newspapers here (eg Daily Mail; the Independent; the Times; the Sun) - heck, I've even seen the Daily Record on sale in some places.Moving out soon, Can you get any british news papers in Dubai? is there any local papers worth reading? Cheers guys!
Funny you brought this up, at least the silly and ridiculous mistakes can be caught by ordinary people like us, but that newspaper is read by many. I was reading about a guy who lost his memory due to an accident and the readers of gulfnews found the guy's family. It is a powerful paper if read by many. The typos don't bother me they are learning and will get there. If I am not mistaken it was gulfnews.Gulfnews often makes many silly and ridiculous mistakes (not even talking about typos or grammar here), and have horrible taste when it comes to reporting tragic news. Adolf Hitler dying of tuberculosis, the cartoonish infogram of the mother jumping to death after her boy fell off the window, swapping the German flag for the French one (just a few days ago) etc. come to mind. That's not proper journalism.
Supermarkets which attract Brit expats such as Spinneys or Waitrose; also bookshops such as Booksplus and Magrudys. Expect to pay Dhs15-Dhs20+ per (day old) issue.Cheers for the info, what shops sell the Brit papers, supermarkets?
