Well the hardlyreading staff once again got no Boston Globe delivered to our unhappy home today. Here’s the latest lame excuse posted on the hately local broadsheet’s website:
Once again the paper lists 90 locales where there are “delivery delays” – that means “no paper” in Globespeak. Except it should be 91, since once again Brookline is left out (in more ways than one).
To make matters even worse, we got this email a couple of hours ago:
Seriously?
Two questions:
- Why has the Boston Herald still not covered this story? (And, yes, we did get our copy of the fraidy local tabloid today.)
- The Globe is offering “full refunds to those subscribers who do not receive newspapers.” But what about Globe advertisers? Are they getting refunds too?
Seems only fair, eh?

Right on John – my zip code not listed either – my unscientific poll of all my paddle tennis players last 4 days concludes the issue is still of epic proportions – not 5% – Happy New Year
Thanks, Em – all best for the new year.
