LOTS.

 

[Andrew Everard]

heystak:Are these made up or proper jobs? !!

Proper jobs. Some of us have two of them.

Andy Clough:LOTS.

I thought you might say its proportional to the quality of the magazine? !

 

[Simon Lucas]

heystak:Audio Editor We don't have an Audio Editor. Perhaps I should prepare my CV and apply for this made-up job.

Indeed - and BTW you left off Deputy Editor, Technical Editor, News Editor, Buyer's Guide Editor, Art Editor and First Tests Editor. And Tom and Madders.

Your job, Andrew seems to be what I do to take my mind off my job...

One to check the words and one to buy the beer.

But, seriously, yes, these are all proper jobs. A lot of work, man hours, blood, sweat and tears goes in to producing the reviews, news etc. Mainly because we do around 4 times as many reviews as other magazines (cough)...and speak to you every day (and night).

Simon Lucas:We don't have an Audio Editor.

Ah no, Master Lucas, I fear not. But forsooth Gramophone does... Bonus point to the Berkshire-Smuggs, I'm afraid...

Yeh- Editors are like London buses

 

[Simon Lucas]

Feel the mighty force of our, erm, editorship. Editorhood?

 

[Andrew Everard]

And me

Ooops, managed to forget the Managing Editor.

 

[Andy Clough]

dominic dawes:Will we then need a video editor? I've done a course on that.

Ah, but you haven't finished the course yet Dom, so you're not fully qualified.

And let's not forget the web editor, who sadly has no other full-time editors working for him.

No comment (although not for want of one).

 

[Andrew Everard]

Why? How many London buses does it take to change a lightbulb?

Can't do that matey. Not in the job description, and 'elf and safety wouldn't allow it.

Merely coping, dear boy, merely coping.

And only just, at that.
