Love is delivered with the evening paper

Bride-to-be Marion McBain has told how she found love with her paper Bill.

And the Aberdeen Evening Express thinks the happy couple have come up with the best reason yet for having your local paper delivered to your door – it can lead straight to romance.

Bill Duncan (74) first spotted Marion (71) as he made his daily trip to his local newsagent’s to start his paper round.

The couple would say hello and sometimes have a brief chat.

Then Bill summoned up courage to knock on her door, when he delivered her copy of the Evening Express, to chat a bit more.

“Before you know it, I’d popped the question and she said yes,” said a delighted Bill.

Marion said: “I never thought reading the Evening Express would lead to this.”

Bill, who says he hates to be idle, said: “When the chance of delivering papers came up, I jumped at it, although I wondered if I might be too old. And now look, the Evening Express has changed my life!”
