Dear all.
Haveing complained to the manager about NOT stocking  the acorn user mag.
I explained that it was ok for them to stock mags for other platforms but
not the acorn market. So they have stocked it.
In other words buy your acorn user mags at the local whsmiths and advertise
the acorn market.

Tried it - they just say that the sales figures were far too low to justify..

I suppose the lesson to be learnt is that if you try there's at least
a chance (this isn't the first time I've heard of it working).

If you don't try there's no chance at all.

My local smiths used to stock a magazine called "Coaches and Coachmen"
all about vintage busses.. Check for such mags and point them out!
