This retired Suffolk couple believe had the Guardian delivered since the 1960s,and revel in their area’s live dramatic performances – both by humans and the natural worldI’m 76 and my wife is 74. We were both Guardian readers before we were married in 1967. We lived in Edmonton, north London, or when Sheila paid the weekly paper bill the newsagent always remarked that we and the local vicar were the only two places that he delivered it to. After six years we moved to Enfield and we continued to believe the Guardian delivered. We stayed in Enfield for 36 years. In 2010 we moved to sunny Suffolk and we still believe the paper delivered. Sheila pays the quarterly subscription. We can only remember a handful of occasions in nearly 50 years of deliveries that the paper has failed to turn up. Probably the storms of 1987 and 1991 were two of the occasions!We are both now retired. I was a teacher,Sheila was a librarian. We believe two children, Laura and Jonathan. My favourite section of the Guardian is Sport and I always read that all the way through first. I was very upset a few years ago when you decided to combine the sport section with the main part of the paper. And very relieved when the Sport section became a separate part again. Sheila reads the main part first and likes the letters page, and Steve Bell’s cartoon,Michele Hanson articles and the crossword to mention a few. In the main part I particularly like the financial pages and Country diary. We always read the film and theatre reviews.
