Good thoughts and well wishes to Swanage Middle School. Hope everyone is ok.

The Bournemouth Echo got around to reporting this story on Friday - two days after the BBC carried it on both radio and tv.
Does anyone else agree that the Echo has deteriorated over the past few years? Is it worth 40p anymore? Should it follow the lead of the London Standard and become a free paper, relying on advertisement (its circulation would improve dramatically, providing a greater draw for business and individuals to place ads)?
