Yeah Motorcaravan Motorhome monthly. I'm not sure if it's in the shoppes yet as I get it on subscription. You should get it in any good newsagents.

It's £3.95 sterling so should be about 4.50 euro. If you subscribe you can save quite a lot on the shop price.

That's ridiculous price as the cover price is £3.95. How can they justify that kinda price?

I used to pay the 6 quid a copy but now it's something like 2.40 an issue if you down load it (check the App Store)

And you don't even need to go and get it,

Also the iPad is very handy for reading when the other half is snoring as no light requires to read :-) :-)

Taylor even though I've got an iPad and I am old fashioned and I still much prefer a book or a magazine to the digital one. I admit that's me with my head stuck in the sand.

I've more tech that you can shake a stick at but I understand where you are coming from. I used to subscribe to BusinessWeek. Anyway without giving a choice they switched to completely digital. Now the software and user experience was all great but it just didn't work for me. The reason being it was now just another thing waiting to be read on the computer/pad.

The arrival of the physical copy was an event that triggered a cuppa and flick through. Even if I didn't have time to read it there and then I knew what I want to come back to later. Even though it was for work getting the magazine was enjoyable something different when it went digital it was just work.

Digital magazines would do nothing for me you want something you can flick through when you buy a mag, although we are seriously ripped off down here for them . A kindle is a different story

Aye, I'm the same as ye. God knows I spend enough time in front of a computer screen with work. I prefer the step-back and tech free experience of having a cuppa coffee and flicking through a paper mag at home.

Personally I do not like the digital versions, I like to hold a magazine/newspaper to read it as well as looking back across the old issues from time to time. When you think about what the publishers get in advertising revenue, to charge almost the same price for digital as printed I really feel ripped off.

Also on page 25 there's details of a Council being challenged over Motorhome parking ban. Well worth reading and very interesting. This guy successfully campaigned for the removal of 300 no overnight parking signs in the Scottish Highlands. Get it and read it. If I knew how to put the article here I would do it.

I feel more comfortable with the magazine to read rather than the laptop as I do most of my reading on the toilet (or library as it's known in our house).


MMM Available from Thursday in shops.

I suppose the magazine has other uses when in the library which would be extremely difficult with an Ipad :lol:
