Positions
Some like it vertical. Some like it flat.
Some like it stretched out on carpet or mat.
Some on a table, and some on a lap.
Some like to know that it's always on tap.
Some on a desktop. Some in a bed,
Lying supine with it held overhead.
There's an infinite number of options to use.
What's YOUR position for reading the news?

Re: Positions
That's clever Stephen. Kept me guessing. I think you've listed just about all. For me it's at a table if its a broadsheet I'm reading. Probably lap for tabloid format.

Re: Positions
In China they used to put the newspapers in a public display case and people read standing in the street.
I think that also happened in England and Europe in the early days of news sheets, I could be wrong, I'm just relying on my memory of seeing something about it somewhere.

Is that the same memory that can't remember where you put your glasses Neville?
