Hi Group,

Nice to know I am not alone. November S&T arrived on Thursday but no
October. So I went to the local W H Smith and bought a copy there. I begin
to wonder how long S&T will survive.

My November issue has just arrived but still no October issue.
So much for postal strikes.

I haven't seen either here in Scarborough


Me neither here in Glasgow, though November arrived yesterday. Emailed
S&T.
They asked me to wait a few days as they seem to be being delivered, if
not,
they would send me another. I have had several non-deliveries since S&T
was
taken over and the issues downsized. Distribution issues, financial
issues?

Me too. S&T are clearly suffering in the economic downturn with loss of
readership and advertising revenue; the magazine is half as thick as it used
to be a couple of years ago, and since Sky Publishing sold out to another
publishing company. I've been a subscriber since I was a youngster in 1974.
Most specialist magazines are suffering to a degree due also to the rise of
the internet as a source of free information. I'd hate to see it go, but
nothing lasts for ever.
