Why would Sky do away with their magazines...........unless all the advertisers realised that nobody actually reads them anymore and decided to put their money into spam e-mails instead :nervous

I've heard that people have been asked to subscribe to a online mag instead, maybe not finishing but hopefully dropping in volume, or not so good for RM.

Quoted on here before, Sky are planning on doing an online mag sent to you e-mails, i think there's a £1 charge on your bill for recieving it.. thou i think Sky will save money if the reduce their mags sent out via Post.

Not just sky. :Very Happy Many membership organisations are asking people to opt for online versions of magazines. :sad: That's why mail volumes are dropping so fast. :crazy:

If a customer can afford sky, surely they can afford a sky mag.

Apparently the Sky mags are just a tax scam anyway... they're not free, the customer still pays for them as part of their Sky TV subscription fee, but as its classed as printed material Sky pay a reduced rate of tax on them. (Something like that anyway)

Yes, that's likely, then so not to confuse everyone we'll probably revert to the calendar of centuries ago with ten months in the year, October being the eighth month for example. :nana :crazy: :nana

Which two months do we lose?
I think August was added by Emperor Augustus to satisfy his enormous ego.
But which other month will we lose? If it is January what wil happen to my birthday?
And what happens to the leap year?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
