  1. I noticed that in the Hereford times it self (had to buy it because I'm looking at moving back into Hereford) that a few posts on the subject was in there and it looked like it they were 'cherry' picked look in favour!!!

    My opinion is that children under 12 should only be taught to write, do sums and a bit of history

    No computer tablet or calculator should be used

    Make them use there brains!!!

  2. "PARKING charges at Hereford County Hospital - already among the highest in the county - are due to go up again."

    Not sure how much it is now, the HT says £3, which I'm guessing is £3 an hour but I'm sure it was more expensive than that when I went there last
    We all need to go to hospital at some point and fight through the smokers that 'hang around' the main door 'like a homeless group meeting' just to visit a loved one, and I find it disgusting that people are forced to pay extortionate prices to see them??

    It's a good job and mate of mine lives just 10 minutes away

    Oh, and why on the HT site isn't there no comments allowed on this subject ??
    And I had to buy the times today and noticed that the contents that the HT took off the site is carefully chosen ;-)

  3. My first post on here (Hereford voice i mean)

     

    the paper has gone from being popular (nearly everybody bought it at one time) which at the time was a great read to a paper that hardly anybody buys! !! Even though the massive rise in the cost of it hasn't helped.

    But there's other reasons too

    The badly written stories/articles in the paper, the constant 'headlines' which are so far from the truth (mental illness headline comes to mind).

    And there's 'which most of us are part of' the on-line stories, their was a time 'not so long ago' when we were able to comment on almost all stories, now though we are being 'forced' to comment mostly only on non-stories

    And when we are 'allowed' to comment on 'meaty' stories its strongly controlled by the 'dictatorship' ( yep, it's a strong word but it's the only one I believe that's right)

    There's posts being taken off, people being banned (sometimes twice ;-) ) and even whole threads being taken off just because the posts are not what the HT want (I think there's other forces though beyond HT that is pulling the strings),,

    For example there was interesting posts on a story about 'i pads' with some great posts with different views on whether ipads should be used in schools.... GONE! !!! wiped out with no more comments allowed? ??.

    HT has turned from a paper that cares to a paper that's gone seriously downhill in a space of just a few years
