.. I find there's lttle readable in YM now, certainly not £3.90's worth. JIngs the amount of advertising in it should mean its a freebie

Tee hee!
I'm sensing you're quite upset about this. :hammer:

I have to agree (haven't bought one for years) but am unable to find so much energy to say so. :)

WHSmug at Paddington have for years provided, foc, all that i've ever wanted to know from the yotting press. There are branches up north and if youse know yer postcode the nearest is here although you can generally be assured of finding one at a train station.

a few years ago, Paddington Smug's moved the yotty mags up to the top shelf alongside "Indian Babes" and other Desmond publications which meant you had to peruse YM etc whilst in the company of less salubrious people.

the scratch card inevitably falls out which gives you the chance of winning an IPC prize before returning the mag back to the rack and catch your train. I've never won anything.
