What a delicious (?) can of worms has been opened here. My collection will have to go very soon but I may keep one issue from each year, for comparative purposes.

The deterioration in standards of journalism seems to me to be more noticeable in this specific market. There is little excuse for slipshod grammar and non-existent proof-reading, both of which distract from the subject matter. I want professionals to maintain the standards we know we should strive to achieve. I cannot be the only reader who thinks we deserve better and have said so, but my latest comments attracted only the equivalent of an editorial shrug, to the effect of "it's beyond my control".

Things took a new turn when one issue contained a leaflet advertising herbal viagra, or something of that ilk...
