I pay for MEW by direct debit which as we all know can be altered to cover price changes etc, is it not possible to somehow register to receive these extra publications automatically and avoid disappointment, the producers of our magazine must have an idea of what is coming up in the forseable future and the price to cover the mag + one offs included in our Direct debit payments,

I'll dispatch emissary tomorrow to buy all available copies. Don't know how much postage costs now but I'll PM you so you can give me the delivery addresses.

Unfortunately I can't back copies up with a sheet of Kevlar so hopefully Royal Mail can deliver intact!

Anyone after a copy from WHS the official off sale date is 4 September so you have just over a week – don't cut it too fine!

They did try and get them back, but WHS wouldn't return any (presumably as off the shelf sales were going OK).

Not sure what happens to unsold ones, there will be stats for supply & returns (eventually) but I'm not sure if the 'returns' come back in a fit state for sale by mail order or not.

Spent last week in Kent, chauffeuring Herself around English Heritage & National Trust locations (anything for a quiet life). We also (of course) have to check that all the shopping centres we visit are exactly the same (which they invariably are).

However, I now have a new way of entertaining myself on these occasions, by checking the local WH Smith for copies of the MEW "Special".

I'm pleased to report that (as of last week) there were still copies available in WHS Dover, Deal & the one at that very large retail park just outside Ramsgate.

The 'Secret' Tunnels underneath Dover Castle were interesting and worth a visit. There is an audio-visual presentation of how very close we came to joining the previous attempt at European Union (apparently they called it the "Third Reich" back then). Three Hundred and Fifty Eight thousand men of the BEF evacuated (under fire) from the beaches at Dunkirk in just ten days. The rescue was controlled from the Dover Castle tunnels. We lost many men and ships in the process, including 22 Destroyers, which is more than the total number of Destroyers and Frigates in todays RN. Which was quite a sobering thought.

Regards,

IanT

My local WHS here in Hull has at least 2 copies on the shelf, while I visited the Metro Centre branch over this weekend, they also had several copies remaining…..

I feel quite inclined to buy a second copy…….
