Hi Group.

I seem to be missing October S&T. Has anyone in the UK had theirs yet?

I queried non-arrival last week. They blamed the postal strike in "the
UK" and wouldn't send out the replacement they promised the day
before.
I told them that the strike was very local and not continuous in a few
places. Suggested that their distributors should use some initiative
to get issues already paid for out to their subscribers. Haven't heard
any more, what a surprise.

My November issue has just arrived but still no October issue.
So much for postal strikes.

Me neither here in Glasgow, though November arrived yesterday. Emailed S&T. 
They asked me to wait a few days as they seem to be being delivered, if not, 
they would send me another. I have had several non-deliveries since S&T was 
taken over and the issues downsized. Distribution issues, financial issues?

Hi Group,

Nice to know I am not alone. November S&T arrived on Thursday but no 
October. So I went to the local W H Smith and bought a copy there. I 
begin to wonder how long S&T will survive.

October issue just popped through letter box.

Me too. S&T are clearly suffering in the economic downturn with loss of 
readership and advertising revenue; the magazine is half as thick as it used 
to be a couple of years ago, and since Sky Publishing sold out to another 
publishing company. I've been a subscriber since I was a youngster in 1974. 
Most specialist magazines are suffering to a degree due also to the rise of 
the internet as a source of free information. I'd hate to see it go, but 
nothing lasts for ever.

Hi Group,

My copy of October S&T arrived today. So now I have two copies!
It would be sad to see a magazine as good as and as informative as S&T 
be replaced by some pages on the Web. Newspapers are increasingly 
publishing content on the Web which used to be in the hard copy print. 
To me and I suspect, a lot of other people, especially in the UK 
non-urban regions, this is a no go area and readers will be lost to 
these publications because a great many of us do not have Broadband or a 
fast enough connection to enable us to follow this trend. A typical web 
page complete with clever graphics and pictures can take up to 5 minutes 
to download to my computer, and I am only 5 miles from the nearest 
exchange!
