In reply to JonC: I might do too much proof reading for work, but there were a number of typos that the editorial staff should have spotted. Its a tiny thing but really annoying when you have to re-read a sentence to work out the meaning because of mistakes. In the Whillans' article there was a "Don't" that should have been "Don's".
Other than that I also enjoyed it. I remember thinking when opening the double page with the B&W photo of Matinee on one side and Ed Douglas's as usual good text on the other, that I wish every two pages of the mag was like that.
Don't get me started on *'!$%**£!! Keith Rickaby going on about what crap TV programmes you can buy on DVD in his "Gear" review. Every year he does, and every year it annoys the F*** out of me. Keith man! You know your stuff on tents and jackets etc. Stick with what you know - that's why we buy the magazine!!!
