    Not tried it before but certainly going to enter it.

    Have just seen a copy of the Australian Readers Digest and will certainly never, never buy one.
    It is page after page of advertisments. Any stories, jokes, comments or other writings that used to be so enjoyable are hidden away among more advertisments.
    Why they charge anything at all for it is beyond me as obviously the income is from advertising.
    They have ruined a great magazine and I trust their sales fall through the floor. Whether this is only the Australian version I do not know but it has certainly put me off ever buying one anywhere in the world again.

    Readers Digest had big financial problems in 2010, pongo, and they had to be refinanced to keep going.

    Exactly. And flash fiction of the briefest kind.

    Thanks for that, Carol. Interesting. If they got back to basics as they used to be and abandoned all their ridiculous continuous mail-out rubbish they would have a world leader. I am available to run their empire if they need me. A modest salary would suffice and just a small car with it.
    Have computer, will travel.
