We have had complaints that money has been taken for a subscription but
the magazines have not arrived. We have received no orders.
We are in the progress of resolving this through legal channels."

What's happened to C+ anyway? It never seems to be in WHSmith's anymore
when I go there and I haven't seen it in any other local newsagents. I
don't buy it every month, but at this rate I'll have to subscribe.. not from
the above site obviously!

I still see it in major branches of Smith's. You have to catch it at just
the right time of month before they sell out of copies... Don't ask!, I
never remember when the new ones come in.

Is this the same Future's Subs Department swears blind that it has three
times sent me the cycling jersey that I was supposed to get as a
subscriber?

I'm sorry, I can't see what I said that caused you such exasperation.

Unless it's your having personal experience of Boise, Idaho.

well, it's certainly partly that.

but dumbass, take what i said literally. if i can find it in boise it can't
be that hard to find.

let me put it another way.

i can find it in boise. it can't be hard to find anywhere else.

that is, if i'm finding it here you should be able to find it where you are.
anywhere that's not boise, that is.

get it?

The Borders stores decide on a per-store/per-magazine basis whether to
carry some of the smaller mags. I know because I couldn't find anybody
carrying it here in Seattle. I finally gave up and ordered a
subscription.
