Pat Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I spotted a copy of the February MMM in a newsagent today that surprised me as my copy hs not been delivered yet! Am I alone? I thought that one of the perks of being a subscriber was that we recieved our copy 2 or 3 days before it went on general sale 1 Regards Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith T Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Not reexived mine yet...but then, perhasp its a long way for it to come to Cornwall.! I have to agree I was under the impression we should receive them before the shops though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandyAndy Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Got ours this morning, with lots of other reading too. See Daves been paying the public for putting letters in praising his wonderful services again . LOL ,, it must take him hours to get ready in a morning polishing that Halo of his.

Globetrotter Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Mine also not arrived yet. Not for the first time either that subscribers recieve theirs after the general public-not really the idea of subscription services in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Jones Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Mine came this morning. Come on MMM Distribution Dept, let's hear your excuses - or better still, a simple promise that NO copies will be dispatched to shops until well after all subscribers' copies have been sent out. (Oh, I've just realised what causes the delay. It takes longer to send ours out, because they have to pack all that junk-mail in first! Of course, silly me!)

empress Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Ours arrived yesterday but the plastic wrapper was almost split because of all the "extras". I do think Her Majesty's Mails may be at fault sometimes. We ordered copies of France Magazine calendars during November - two arrived safely the other two (sent out same date) had to be re-posted finally arriving this month.

Keith T Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hi again - yes , it's just arrived...and even thought we have a large 'box' outside for the port, it hardly even fitted that. Feel sorry for the postie on his bike! What a bundle, and agree with Tony about possible pre-packaging, though I assuem even in the shops, it must be in a plactic bag! Got a few days reading anyway!

Tim Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Had mine yesterday afternoon, 24th, and that had made it to the Isle of Skye. The mail arrives on the island at 11am, just takes a long time to get to our house. :-) Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivys Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Apologies in advance for the following stupid question: Is the MMM mag worth it? How does it compare with other mags? Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 At least with all the additional c@@p you can ditch it in the bin straight away, shame they don't put all the advertising seperate from the rest of the mag I would be able to enjoy my read (or not as the case may be) without the constant advertising which could be binned immediately. It would probably help the payload as well!!! ;-) ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest starspirit Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Having read all other mags at one time or another MMM does seem to have the widest content and most info out of all of them. Although there are several topics in which I have no interest I still think it is fair vfm. But then again many people would not touch MMM as they ahve their own favorites. So why not try 'em all and stick with what you like. Mine arrived today but Pembroke too seems to be too far from civilisation to warrant a decent postal service. NOT the fault of postmen and women who do a grest job in such adversity as poor management and unhelpful government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Newell Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Mine arrived this morning but I have no gripe about it being late. i've received it and that's good enough for me. I'd like to point out that I didn't even know that Mrs James was writing to the mag, much less that I would actually pay someone to write in, who me? D. P.S. it was a nice letter though.

Guest Frank Wilkinson Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 This is not a joke. I subscribed to MMM recently and my first two editions, last month's and the one that arrived a couple of days ago, sat on my hall stand for about two days.When I went to collect my morning post, such is the thickness of the magazine with its inserts, catalogues and separate advertisements, that I assumed that it was a new telephone directory - or Thomson's Yellow Pages or something!I'll get used to it eventually I suppose!

Guest Frank Wilkinson Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Mmmm! A typical reasoned and sensible response!Ignore him Ivys and make up your own mind.

Tony Jones Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Agreed - I get both mags, and find they each have strengths and weaknesses. There's room in the market for both. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livewire Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Frank Wilkinson - 2007-01-26 6:30 PMMmmm! A typical reasoned and sensible response!Ignore him Ivys and make up your own mind. I like it, I also like Practical Motorhome as it happens and would never call something rubbish, just because it's not for me.The last copy I bought was last summer.There was an article on the Isle of Sheppy that was quite frankly rubbish, and has been widely reported on other forums as so. There was also an idiots guide to touring France in winter. A pull out supplement that had a page on what the internet is and how to connect, half a page on how to get a passport. The writer seemed to be paid by the word. Very poor writing by 'have a go journalists' with little evidence of the editor doing his job other than keeping costs down.So, frankie babes, I say rubbish for a reason. Having said that, there is excellent advice available on how to stop your toilet roll unravelling and similar life saving scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empress Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Most months we find plenty to interest us. This month's issue a little disappointing. "Mike's Motorcaravanning Month" I thought rather a copout, just lots of photographs. Is it my imagination or are we getting more and more travel articles? Are there any left to go in "Out and About"?

Dancer Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I am very happy to admit that I like MMM. Not all the content is for me, but you can say that about any magazine. I got mine yesterday, ordered and saved by my local newsagent. Thought about subscribing but also thought that I would like my newsagent to stay open. Thoughtful and reasoned enough for you Frank? (Don't take offence, I like your style) Oh. OK. take offence if you must: it makes for interesting reading. Regards, Dancer. Not a reindeer please.

Guest starspirit Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Most of the MMM free suplements are crap and go straight in the bin including the awful Brownhills advert in this month's edition along with the pathetic and incomplete park sites booklet. That apart the mag does have a lot of very varied info and adverts which are also a source of info and contacts in their own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancer Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hi Starspirit. Do you mean that there are more sites in England than mentioned in the booklet. WOW! I did notice that a lot of the were CC sites, I already knew about these as a CC member. Hope that comment does'nt get Michelle going again.
