Purely out of curiosity scorpiojo.What language was that you both wrote? TIA

Gaeilge

[scorpiojo]

And I replied 'you're welcome' (hopefully!)

[retrocop]

Thanks for putting me out of my misery.I love linguistics.Tell me please.Do the Sunday papers arrive a day early from the mainland to Ireland.I often see clues posted on a Saturday that come from ,say,Mail on Sunday You magazine crossword which I don't get until the day?

[retrocop]

Sorry scorpiojo I was assuming Gaeilge was Irish gaelic and never gave the Highlands or indeed The Isle of Man Gaelic a thought

[scorpiojo]

I have no idea, retrocop, as I live in Yorkshire. Sadly, I am not a fluent in gaeilg, but just wanted to learn some phrases after seeing a lot of quiz questions from gaeilge speakers.

[retrocop]

Good for you.Ta

[scorpiojo]

Irish Gaelic. You're welcome, have a good weekend.

Where can English Sunday papers be bought on Saturday razza.

@retrocop
In London you always used to be able to buy the next day's papers from, say, 10:00pm the day before - and earlier on a Saturday night (say 9:00pm) for Sunday - from the paper stands outside the main stations, such as King's Cross or Victoria. A long time since I have done so, though, so don't know if it's still the case.
Also, the magazines and many of the sections are printed well in advance; for the broadsheets particularly, the news, business and sports pages are printed last.
