Britain’s first daily newspaper was published in London on 11 March 1702 in somewhat unusual circumstances: it was produced by a man who turned out to be a woman; it carried no news about England, only from abroad; and it didn’t offer any opinions, leaving its readers to make up their own minds.
The paper was called the Daily Courant and was produced at a house near the King’s Arms inn near Fleet Bridge by Elizabeth Mallet, who found it a good career move to pretend it was all done by a man. Women weren’t supposed to do that sort of thing in those days, although, curiously, the only paper which also claimed, less successfully, to be Britain’s first – the Norwich Post – was also run for a while by a woman called Elizabeth – Elizabeth Burges.
Elizabeth Mallet’s journal consisted of two pages, with foreign news on the front and advertisements on the back. It is not clear why she chose to report only foreign news, but it may have been that it was considerably cheaper than paying for home news. She was way ahead of her time in presuming that her readers had “sense enough to make reflections for themselves“. Not many papers today would follow that approach.
I quite like the turquoise and orange colour combination here, as Gemini 2 36172 passes Streetdeck 35141. As I found with NCT's E400 Cities, turquoise liveried buses seem to be particularly pleasing on the eye, and the route 13 livery was certainly my favourite Network Norwich colour seen on the Gemini 2s.
I would never have expected a Streetdeck of all things to look nice, but First have managed it here with these spotlessly presented orange ones for routes 21 and 22. I still think the styling is questionable, but compared to those ugly orange ones in Reading, the Norwich ones look fantastic! Just a shame I was a bit too late to catch the Presidents working on the orange line.
