Guest Laura Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Out & About magazine is currently looking for letters on hot topics for the October issue.

Brian Kirby Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 If it's me Brian you're referring to, you are very kind.However, if I were to write to a mag it would be MMM - hooray! (althought I have just written to the CC Mag for a bit of light relief!). I read that, so could read any witty replies. Can't really see much point in spreading the motorhome stuff around everywhere. Who else is interested? If I did though, I might write to the Times, or even Woman's Weekly for that matter! Larger circulations?However, I dont, so I shan't.Miserable old git, ain't I.

Guest starspirit Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Out and about magazine just simply does not have any appeal whatsoever? Discuss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest starspirit Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 No Geoff I have not read it and neither will I unless I find a freebie somewhere. I keep getting blurb with my MMM each month extoling the vitues of O&A and from what it tells me of the topics covered there simply is not one such topic for which I would buy the magazine. Have you read it? Would you buy it? Have you bought it Has anyone? Would anyone? Answers please on a postcard to Laura! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answers please on a postcard to Laura![/QUOTE] No postcards thanks - but if you would like a freebie send me your address and I'll put a copy in the post. Once you've read it then you might see why thousands of other motorcaravanners and caravanners buy it every month - and if you don't agree then at least you'll be in a more informed position to criticise eh?

Guest starspirit Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Thanks for the very kind thought Laura, but I really am not that bothered. Can I just say that at no point did I critiscise O&A - I just said that, based on the main topics that you advertise as being it's principle content, it does not appeal to me. I don't doubt that some people will like it and good luck to them, and to you, but it still does alter the fact that it does not appeal to me. That is not critiscism Laura, that is a personal view - but I can do critiscism very well, but then again I would need to read the magazine first! So no critiscism then, and who knows this discussion may even get other people interested for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Bell Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Starspirit your being unecessarily controversial. You should take up Lauras kind offer of a freeby and eat humble pie if you enjoy it. If you don't enjoy then you can criticsize from a position of knowledge and not guesswork and we will all respect your opinion.

michele Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Geoff, What is it you find a criticisim What is it he has said ? He only said that what they advertise on the cover he has no interest in ? *-) Or am I reading it wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest starspirit Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Geoff if you want a freebie just ask Laura, meanwhile I suggest you read what I said more carefully after which perhaps you might care to tell me just who or what I am alleged to have critiscised. I don't agree with everything you say either but I accept your right to say it and I expect you to accept similar rights for me. I repeat - the topics covered by O&A are of no interest to me personally. I have never eaten humble pie but I am man enough to apologise when, and it does often happen, I am proven wrong. As is so often the way on here different people read the same item in differing ways and some read in things which simply are not there. There is nothing wrong with a bit of controvosy - ask any politician! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Bell Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I just felt your quote 'but I'm really not that bothered' was unnecessary. Perhaps I'm just being over sensitive. I wouldn't have said that to someone offering me something FOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest starspirit Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Depends whether you want what is on offer foc I guess? I don't take things just because they are free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Bell Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Well I hear what you say Richard, I know you say what you feel and in all fairness you are the first to agree this, having read your profile. At least we are still talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone?[/QUOTE] Tried the special introductory offer but didn't renew and am highly unlikely to do so. The content was of little interest to me. OTOH, I just renewed my subscription (for 2 years) to MMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
