I wonder whether anybody was as astonished as I was with the Guardian’s revelation this morning that rich people were less likely to have taken part in the summer riots? But it must be true - they have a map to prove it. I have been lucky enough to obtain a preview of their next revealing map (above).

Guardian knot

This is the process for placing a death notice in The Guardian:

  1. spend 15-20 mins scratting round their website. Find nothing except 2 email addresses that look vaguely relevant (obituaries@, classified.advertising@)
  2. write to the email addresses
  3. when they reply, discover that actually you need a different address altogether: announcements@guardian.co.uk
  4. email your copy
  5. when you get an email response, phone a charming but slightly disorganised man as he grinds the details through a desperately slow online system. Oh, and they can’t do the accent in née…

This is the process for placing a death notice in The Telegraph:

  1. go to any half-relevant page & click the link
  2. fill in the form
  3. … er, that’s it.

Just how desperately does The Guardian not want several hundred £s? Nobody in need of this service is going to be having a good week…
