MRJ 160 late?

Got our shop copies today.

Cheers John,

I see MRJ are still as good at missing deadlines as they used to be when I subscribed!! Still worth the wait though.

Ee. You're lucky.

I actually had a regular order with my nearest deserving newsagent, about 4 miles away. He failed to obtain 2 issues in a row this year, even after making phone calls to the wholesaler and a publisher's number they quoted him. He said it sounded like he'd dragged someone from their bed when the phone was answered! ("Sounds like WS", I thought)

As the local council had just imposed a parking charge for the privilege of making a detour and leaving my car outside every time I went in to watch him shake his head, I cancelled. At a show that weekend, I found the run of misses had just gone up to 3.

Had all issues from No 0 to this point.

Cheers, Francis K.

Was also the case with me. Apart from anything, my Collections collection is outgrowing my house, and MRJ was, well, compact, at least. Also rationed my prototype mags to those featuring the GN main line south of Peterborough.

Cheeers, Francis K.
