THERE’S never a good time for a price hike, but I will continue to buy the Argus in spite of it.

I have always considered it excellent value for money and think of it as being much more than just a local newspaper since it has great sports coverage and some fine journalism on many subjects.
Another good reason would be that I’d miss its letters page which has some clever and interesting letter writers.  I have in mind people like Sam and Jessie Boyd and yes,  Mr A Greenhalgh along with others too numerous to mention who take tremendous trouble to carefully check out their facts.
I would miss reading their letters and admit to quite often having learned from them.
Jessie Boyd’s assertion a couple of weeks ago that freedom of speech is more important than most other things in life is something that I would find hard to deny. Vive L’Argus.
