^^^ Yes I got one yesterday but no mention of by DD being ended just another Mag in its place!
I will cancel my DD however,
Taking the p... I thought

[Alan Drover]

I had a letter recently confirming my subscription had been cancelled as requested and no more money would be taken from my account. They'd have difficulty doing so because I had already cancelled the direct debit. The last issue which arrived earlier this week is the next magazine to be read.

I'm hanging on to my last issue copy.

Should be worth a bit on eBay in a few year's time 

I wonder who owns the title "Land Rover Owner"

Whilst hard copy mag sales are falling year-on-year maybe the LRO journos could band together and try an online only mag

I assume Bauer Media own the LRO title.
I object to an online only magazine. First it's great to sit in a comfy chair with a drink and read a proper magazine and second when I did try reading an on line magazine I couldn't turn the pages

^^^ I think many grumpy old blokes (like me, born in the time of 80" production) still want a paper magazine, not the modern options

[Wittsend]

I would agree, you can't beat a real magazine, something to hold in your hands, a sit down and good read 

Problem is - as posted above and in the last LRO editorial - Costs, and with falling advertising revenue it's a vicious spiral downwards.
We don't like magazines stuffed with adverts 
And then - do the punters want to pay £10 - £15 a copy


Which brings us to our own award winning magazine.
We carry a few targeted adverts to offset some of our costs.
We will continue to print a hard copy of B2L for as long as we can - hopeful for many years to come.

Great Alan. I look forward to my issues of B2L when the Royal Mail sees fit to deliver.

[Bonnet-rouge]

My April addition turned up today ,  was a one off as 75th anniversary special took a month to arrive so still holding out hope that spring B2L will turn up soon

No point in signing up for an online only Mag'. If you going to spend that much time online you may as well just search for any specific content you interested in.
Most of it is FREEly available.
It is puzzling with LRO having a circulation way bigger than the two nearest competitors that they could not make it pay ?
Word on the 'street' is that a possible sale fell through.

^^^ I fear that owners of many sorts of companies have bought them with little intrest in a long term ownership but just selling them on for a quick pay out perhaps after a quick company tidy up to make them look good in the short term

Got my first copy of Practical Classics today! I'm sure I must have missed a magazine somewhere as it seems more than 4 weeks since the last LRO...
