1. what a waste of our taxs, I can count the number of copies I have seen on the fingers of one hand and only two of then though my door, smart is a good name for this company, getting paid for printing a paper that no one sees- money for old rope

   1. Thanks for your comment.

      Since it started no copies of the Wirral View have been delivered through our door here in Bidston.

      Just to be clear Smart Distributions Solutions Ltd don’t print the paper, their contract is just to deliver it.

2. Back in the day, mention papers and a delivery and I’d think of a Newsagent, a bike, a bloody paper bag, a paper round and the paper boy who’s role it was to lug the huge load of papers about in all weathers and shove the paper through the letterbox of the dwelling despite the presence of a canine beast who’s obvious purpose in its life was to bark at you and, if given an opportunity, to rip your flesh from the bones and have you tipping up at the local Cottage Hospital begging for yet another tetanus jab because the beast had the look of the devil in its eye and because there was more than a good chance the bite would deliver you lock bloody jaw or worse a bacteria that’d attack your vital organs and render you completely unable to continue your paper round.

   Now, I appreciate that this offering from me is no more a load of bollocks than the idea that Wirral View is a jolly good read and should be made freely available in Air Port Departure Lounges and other public spaces where folk gather together and discuss just how bloody incompetent these passionate bastards are when it comes to delivering the people a positive outcome or the bastard Wirral View.

   So, if it’s ‘delivery’ they’re fixated on and they’re desperate for all the people to receive and read this mushy pulp of literary bollocks, then get the unholy trinity of Davies, Liptrott and Kevin Mac to become WBC Paper Boys and hand deliver this pointless rag to the thousands who’ve hopefully become owners of canines who’s only purpose in life is to attack, bite, generally maul, claw and disfigure the poor person who was stupid enough to ever go tippy toeing up the path with next months version of Wirral View.

3. Sweet loving Jesus! I’ve just read me own bloody post. If ever there’s an example to others to remain sober whilst tapping on a keyboard it’s this rancid undiluted rubbish that I’ve recently authored after digesting 2 single dose units of diazepam, supping eleven pints of ale and having no memory of winning sixty quid in a hand of three card brag in my local Ale House.
   Under normal circumstances, normal for me, I can often read some of this rubbish and vaguely recall what it was that was going through me mind that prompted me to come up with whatever it was I came up with. This one! The one before this? I’ve absolutely no idea why I began going on about a Paper Round.
   Once more John. My apologies dear old friend. Rob.

   1. Thanks for your comment bobby47.

      I did edit slightly some of the language out of the first comment before the comment was published.

      One of the contractor’s method statements published above appears to deal with dogs and states “This includes… placing distributors’ personal safety above delivery in potentially dangerous situations.”

      This would suggest that if a dog is loose between the gate and door that property isn’t delivered to or indeed if a dog is barking behind the letterbox and the distributor is scared the dog might bite them if they deliver, then that property isn’t delivered to either.

      Wirral View is the Council’s newspaper, the contract and story above is about delivery of it, so that’s properly why you started writing about a paper round.
