while I recognise the PeenJ as being a local paper, in my view it is far too parochial in a way which does it no favours. the PeenJ 10 years ago was a much better read and while the editor is responsible for overall quality, perhaps the individual journalists should look to their own contributions. I find the use of the words they/it is particularly poor, with usage such as "If Aberdeen is to win, they must..." when every schoolboy knows Aberdeen is singular and should be an "it".

There is no option to leave comments. This is especially annoying when the article asks you to leave your thoughts below.

You have to create an account on their website to read anything. This is a joke, I have to set up an account to read something once a year ?????????? NEVER EVER there are a million other publishers that you can read without creating an account. You are pathetic.

It never goes past "loading". My internet connection is fine, and there's no junk slowing anything else down on my tablet. Luckily I have a paper copy to read.
