have you fallen out with WH Smiffs?

[Big Aura]

Tried both of their shops in Euston Station today, in need of some quality reading material en route to picturesque Sawndwill and Doodloi in the midlands, and neither had WHFS&V! They had [evil rival #1] and [evil rival #2] and Stuff, and even What Mobile, but not your publication. The sales assistant shrugged and wandered off. I had to make to with working on the train. Not good!

 

[Andrew Everard]

Can't do much about shruggy sales assistants, but the problem could be that we're almost at the end of the shelf-life of the current issue, with the next one due on sale next week.

Smirk.

Sorry, this forum is strictly non-smirking. Even JD has to go out to the car-park when he wants a tab...

And there was me thinking he was more a Birman type of chap.

No, the pigeons on the windowsill beside his desk are purely coincidental...

Somehow I figured JD as more of a Sobranie Cocktail sort of man...

 

[Andrew Everard]

Not saying he spends a lot of time out there, but some people round here seem to think he's some kind of car-park attendant...

A Ronson Premier Varaflame if the man has taste.

Oh no, couldn't possibly be. I somehow think the WHFS&V offices are a bit more like this you know...

 

[Andrew Everard]

You really couldn't be much further from the truth...

 

[John Duncan]

That's me second from left.

Sigh. If only......

 

[John Duncan]

Oh don't you start on the Jon Hamm thing...

Not good!charing crooss smiths(in station) has one copy left as of about an hour ago

 

[Clare Newsome]

Far from falling with them, we had a promotion on in a lot of WHSmith stores this month -extra copies at till points etc- which may explain why stocks ran out faster than in other shops.

New issue should be in stock by Friday.
