Phil, please accept the comment in the light hearted manner in which it was intended.
I am a massive fan of GR and appreciate the effort that goes in to what is probably considered a niche interest publication.
You also missed the obvious irony of the typo in my own comment which I've only just noticed!
Don't worry - I didn't take it as a pointed dig.
Typos happen I'm afraid. We've recently created a new workflow process which means someone with time, and the eye, gets a proper read and should reduce them, but it's not completely foolproof. Sometimes you just have to shove the publication out of the door. As it was for this issue, we managed to get all the mags (BRM and GR) plus a Virtual Show, which was the equivalent of at least 3 magazines worth of content, out all at the same time!
I'm still proud of each issue but always happy for a bit of constructive feedback. That's why my e-mail address is in each issue and I do my best to reply to each and every one as quickly as possible. We rely on people buying the magazine to pay our wages, so if there's something you'd like to see in there, I want to know. Better still, if you are willing to write it, even better!
We live in strange times. Advertising has dipped, although it's coming back. With WH Smith being shut, sales fell through the floor. Smiths are back, subscriptions are up a bit, hopefully we won't suffer the same fate as Garden Railways magazine. I really do appreciate every reader, every advertiser and every contributor. We might be a niche publication, but not the most esoteric in the Warner's group...
