Nor me.
Not long ago it appeared regularly in the last week of the month, but it's been slipping later and later and I was expecting it by the second of the month, which has been the case since this annoying slippage began.

Why has it slipped? It's still every two months regularly, so why not set a date for the end of the month and stick to it?

In the good old days, there was a magazine every month, not bimonthly, but to be fair, we didn't have this forum to maintain our interest.

Is it another change caused by covid?

Could be. Royal Mail and other delivery services are all reported to be suffering from staff shortages at the moment. We went four days last week with no post at all - and as my wife was running a competition which was nearing its deadline, there would normally be multiple items arriving daily. Instead they all turned up in a big batch on the fifth day.

Maybe... I'll be keeping an eye out for the postman today. Thanks for all the replies.

Mine arrived today. The typo in the Spa Cycles advert has made it into a third issue.

Unless it is a new verb describing the interaction between leather saddles and touring cyclists.

Actually I was wrong - I now see it is a joke based on a real word so I take it all back! So the joke's on me!

Good to see the new maritime heritage trail in Belfast featured on the cover, a project funded by Heritage Fund earlier this year
