Hi All
I just bought the May/June magazine in Sainsbury's this morning, and I must say: what a boring magazine!
I have seen virtually all the recipes several times before - or worked them out for myself (banana on toast, I ask you!!). Nothing has caught my eye. The letters page is far too 'self-congratulatory' E.g. "I was so inspired by (such and such) in your (previous) issue...etc". There's just no balance any more!
On p 39 is a Homebase voucher for '15% off everything' - but this is valid on 14 and 15 April only - over two weeks before the commencement period of the magazine. I find this very poor!
I run a media business, so of course I am aware that periodicals are available for purchase a short while before the published front cover datespan - but this is really shoddy and unfair to readers and subscribers!
I think the magazine needs a good shake up (and I've emailed them to say as much!).
Rant over!
