yes yes ok ok, in the UK perhaps, yes
In the rest of the world, paper maps in general and paper maps at 1:250000 in particular are becoming rare.
For my own BE country, being rather smallish, the "official" VFR charts are 1:250.000 - but they are always so late to be published - the 2016 version was only available by July 2016, ISTR - and so notorious for their errors that I've given up on them and now fly on DFS 1:500000 - in a microlight, too.
