CJ, did you contact them and say it hadn't arrived.
When my issue went astray during the postal strike, I rang on the Monday and my replacement copy arrived on the Friday.
It was orginally my own fault because I had forgotten to allow for the direct debit to go through having spent all my money on frivolous things (food, bills etc etc).
But I did phone them, sent them a cheque, apologised profusely and the charming young lady at the end of the phone told me I was back on the system and that I would be receiving my copies of March's magazines.
As it was my own stupid fault I am reluctant to ring up again, but if my April mag's don't arrive then I think another call will be in order
CourierJohn, I'd give up on your March mag and start bellyaching now about April's. You just get it before these lot start getting their May issues then.
Me, angry? Not yet, but I'm heading that way :(
And I didn't have a DD issue. I paid up front for the whole year and got Jan and Feb's with no trouble.
There's a story in PE about a woman in Staffordshire who has a pre-payment top-up card for her electricity meter. She went to a shop and put £5 credit on it and on the way home the £5 was swiped off by a pelican crossing!
So we will all be poised by our letterboxes tomorrow morning.
Looking forward to reading your piece Dorothy. (Have to agree, how people walk can tell you something about their personality and how they're feeling.)
I'm looking forward to a good read later on put couldn't resist having a look at Dorothy's article. Well done Dorothy. I enjoyed it and found it very helpful.
I do worry though about all the people who are now going to think me very strange as I intently watch them from my dirty-cup laden corner table as they saunter up to the cafe counter! (and there's another thing - I rewrote that last sentence as the first version read as though the people were sauntering from my table and I thought 'OOH Dorothy won't like that!' . So that's something else I've taken on board)
On a separate point, has anyone else noticed that the competition entry fees have gone up in this issue?
Congratulations Heather.
I have a notebook somewhere with a half hours observation of people walking by a seating area- where I was waiting for my husband.
Congratulations, Heather, on being shortlisted. It's no mean achievement.
There are a few lines about me in Members' News (Mixed bag of success). The item follows a long telephone conversation with someone from WN after I responded to an appeal to report recent successes due to leads in the mag. The phone call caught me on the hop, so it's rather a mish-mash, I'm afraid.
(Just previewed this - the sobbing smiley is a bit over the top - I only meant to look a little disgruntled!)
To restore the balance: :)
Also well done to Heather and Dorothy.
I have given up on March's offerings
Saw in passing the items by TB's, and will read them properly over lunch.
But the proof reading errors still remain- WN p36. Derby Prizes item, ' Poetry judge is Paul Groves, twice winner of the Times Literary Supplement Prize (twice), amongst others."
Congratulations to all featured.
Congrats to all though who are featured
