I don't have any trouble with WHSmith's they do put it in my folder and for a while I was the only one who ordered it...as they had dropped it from the shelves stock at the time...not now as they (or maybe PGI?) have several on the shelves each month the woman who does the ordering did say it was because I had ordered one so they figured if one person wants it others will too...very rare for me to see them pulling it from the shelves to SOR...the only problems occur when they are supposed to recieve all of their magazines from Menzies..they are the fly in the soup when it comes to supply not WHSmith's. Did hear a rumour that Menzies and WHSith's are connected as WHSmith's owns part of them...how true that is I don't know as I said it was a rumour I have heard.
Whilst I dislike the internal layout of the "new look" PGI with a passion...horrible colours and the gear section with all the highlights and terrible font used...trying to line up which pic is connected is with which part of the text is a nightmare...a gap between each line of text would help but then perhaps PGI have to use every mm of text space to allow Kingman to have more pages of adverts.
That aside I see the new banner works as it IS easier to see on the shelves...shame it is still with all the Airgunner etc titles when if it was in the "youth" lifestyle section...snowboarding/skateboard/BMX section, sales would rise at an alarming rate. Sfterall snowbarding etc are all different things and yet they are together.
Re. Fast Show...mmmm seemed ok as one was talking about safety even though one wasn't wearing goggles and then the "joke" ala Biker Grove...not good...the rest of the sketches were ok and why Paul Whitehouse couldn't wear googles other than around his neck is a little beyond me...as they weren't using face plates we could for sure tell who the people were
, the normal excuse that is used is that wearing of goggles and mask's stops the the viewer knowing who the character is.
