Readers’ first impressions of the tabloid Guardian

I greeted Monday’s tabloid version with some trepidation, which only increased when on page 3, no less, there was a picture of four women in a row with bare legs on display and in one case quite a lot of cleavage. I was relieved, however, to find the rest of my beloved Guardian unchanged once I had found it all, helped by Katharine Viner’s comforting guide.

• Love the letters double spread with generous central focus on reader’s photo. The eyes take in the different topics so much more easily from left to right, segueing finally and serendipitously to the Country Diary. Bonne idée!

• I was dreading this day, but I have been pleasantly surprised by the new format. Content the same and tabloid in size only. Nice and easy to read and hold. Will still miss the distinctive Berliner though.

• Many congratulations on the new format. However, I must now divorce my husband of 50 years as there is no way of separating out the sport section from the news.

• New tabloid format fine, but you have omitted Oslo from the weather. I can no longer tell my son, who lives there, whether or not it is snowing.

• Best news in the new Guardian? The return of John the Monkey in Steve Bell’s If…, the primate we need in these difficult times.
