Default June GYO mag arrived

I got my June edition of GYO today - full of interesting stuff as always. However, the package was split rather badly along the edge and I am wondering if there was anything included with the mag that might have fallen out. Anyone able to advise please?

You should have received a Booklet entited "A Taste Of The Allotment Seasonal Planner & Cookbook early summer"

Did you get it?

Bit like my seeds last month - although they must be in a Royal Mail sorting office somewhere.

If you have missing items or a badly damaged mag - I have found the customer services people very obliging when it comes to replacements!

I have had a ripped mag and missing seed packs from last years Let's and both were replaced promptly.

Noticed that the price has gone up 10p! Wouldn't have noticed, but the advert at the top of ChitChat (for April's mag?!) says "Only £3.35", and the one at the top of another thread (for June's mag) says "Only £3.45"

Madmax bought me a subscription for a late birthday prezzie so I hadn't noticed the increase. Didn't used to buy it every month but now it arrives in the post so I don't forget.

Just wondering when my free binder will appear

The offer when Madmax took out the subscription for me included 3 goji sticks and a binder for the mag.

Bad timing on my part then, I dint get nuffink with my subscription - I've only been a subscriber a couple of months.

I do get a free mini propagator with each magazine though.

Cannot remember what I got when i subscribed.. nothing I think, been a subscriber for a couple of years now.. took it out because of the free seeds, stuff i would never normally try.

Got a letter several months ago offering me cheap 12 month continuation with subscription... took it up so now will be getting the mag for years to come. Excellent.


But what to do with all the old mags..?

Did give a few to a lady at work who had recently got an allotment, but all she said was how much.. ?? (after she saw the cover price.)

Ungrateful *ow.

It would appear that living in deepest darkest Bedfordshire the post goes via Swaziland. No mag, and no DVD from Lovefilm either.

Boo P.O.

Jardiniere, you can get a british newsagent to post them out to you, when I worked on the ships I used to do this, only takes a couple of days.
