Thanks Jane, and Thomas, for spreading the good news: it's a great relief that the sale is off (even
though it's worrying that it was even considered!)
Best wishes to all,
Diana
Quoting Thomas Larque <[log in to unmask]>:
No problem, and I hope it didn't sound like a criticism. Guardian articles
are available to everybody online, so I thought the link might be useful.
The Times is trying a different model by charging for online access.

Maybe I should have said that I get my Times from my newsagent in the UK.
Don't know what a paywall is!

The Times article is behind a paywall (for subscribers only), but the
Guardian has the same story openly available.

Delighted to see from this morning's Times that, as a result of all the
opposition, the folios have been withdrawn from sale.
Best to all,
