I was looking at a copy of the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph, but somebody who was off travelling grabbed it from the table to read on the train.
Newspapers
What about the poor reader like me, who has lost their newspaper?
Some newspapers can be read on line.
You can pick up news from the US or Asia by clicking on the relevant pages in the online version of BBC news or the online Daily Mail.
Mail Online
Mail online has the headings US and Australia.
BBC online news
Click on the heading WORLD. Underneath pops up more icon words: Africa, Asia Australia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, USA and Canada.
BBC Radio
Some people travel with a radio from home which picks up foreign news but has the dials as from the UK. You can also take with you sticky dots to label your radio with local station positions on the old fashioned dial. Or, with a digital display, you can cut out or copy he section of the local newspaper listing local stations and stick that onto your radio or TV or indoor diary.
You could also bookmark a newspaper from another country on your home page. Or when you are on holiday, find the online version of the local newspaper and then copy that to your computer home page, or copy the ap onto your phone.
When friends are coming from overseas, you can ask them to keep the free newspapers they are given on the aeroplane.
When I travel I have often kept the newspapers from home to read on the 'plane. Arriving at my destination I have left them on a desk or dining table for a week or longer. Before throwing them away, I ask my visitors if they would like a newspaper. Some ex pats are interested in reading news from home, either the news or the features.
Teaching with newspapers
Others who are not English like the newspaper so they can practise their English.
As an English teacher, I would cut out articles and give them to members of the class and ask them to look up the works, précis the article and explain it to other members of the class.
Another popular gift at Christmas time is a magazine or newspaper subscription.
