MEW 300 IS HERE !

Gentlemen,

On the Radio 4 one oclock new today the Post office announced that they have 28 area's in the UK including Northern Ireland where they are struggling with deliveries, apparently due to staff shortages, Covid related and major increase on internet shopping.

My copy of MEW300 arrived in S.W France this morning

Sadly no No.300 yet SW Essex. Post received yesterday after 10 day interval but no MEW.

Hopefully, next week will bring it.

Martyn

Just for the record, another delivery of post on Monday brought me Issue 300.

Enjoying it now.

I live in good old Norfolk and have still not seen MEW300

A replacement isn on it's way, Bernard.

I received 301 in a snowy Norfolk yesterday ! Noel

Or could it be a combination of there being a weekend between the 16th & 19th and the fact many of the MTM staff work part time so she or the next person down the line may not have looked at e-mail on Monday 18th.

Though Neil's two posts above do seem to show some disconnect in one section

301 not on digital yet. Snail mail faster than interweb?

It is if you read it on Pocketmags which is the method we always recommend. As is ME 4658

Archive somwetimes lags, the assumption is that people read their subs copies on pocketmags, The archive was intended for back issues, although they tend to be put up relatively early these days.

My paper copies of 301 came yesterday.

Up here in sunny South Australia MEW 300 has just arrived. I am happy to admit to being impressed with it. The carrier pigeon seemed a bit exhausted........

cheers

I still occasionally check W H Smiths main shop in Churchill Sq., Brighton and still no sign of ME/MEW/EIM but have usual railway, bus tractor mags. Seems like they have fallen below a certain critical no of sales per month so no longer stock them. They are after all probably mainly casual purchases,, regular buyers likely to be using subscriptions. I noted last week a greatly reduced variety of the others, railways buses tractors traction and stationary engines mags, so perhaps pandemic has driven vast numbers of customers to subscriptions.

My copy of 301 arrived a bit earlier than expected.
