Magazine always delivered on time
Magazine always delivered on time. Always full of good stories and articles and puzzles of various kinds, some of which I can do 🙂. Lots of lovely recipes, most of which I haven’t tried because of dietary intolerances. A quiet read before bedtime helps me to settle.

5 stars if the delivery was regularly delivered around the same time every week. Often there are delays and I’m never sure if there’s a problem with despatch or the post office. However, magazine is a great read and I look forward receiving it. There’s great content, serial stories and interesting articles.

I'm now 65
I'm now 65. As a kid I was always into comics, especially Sci fi and WW2. My Dad was a WW2 veteran,and when Victor was released it resonated with me. As a result I started to buy and read the Commando books, then came Warlord,one of my favourite comics,Union Jack one of my favourite characters. Wish now I'd kept them. The memories still remain. Then a few years ago I picked up a few issues of Commado from a Newsagents.Stories seemed even better,delved into different genres and historical periods. Stories that have a beginning, middle and a satisfying end. Often making a valid point. Thourghally recommend them. Had no problems so far with my subscription.
