These are tough decisions, affecting the lives of many. Pacific is not alone in adjusting its magazine publishing business in response to market conditions.

    Off topic but just had a customer return Wellbeing Detox which arrived 18/8. Inside there is an order form for the 2011 Wellbeing Diary. The bloody thing is at least 5 years old. Of course I refunded her but so embarrassing trying to explain that we don’t have control other than manually checking.

    What an absolute disgrace. Thanks for the heads up Stacey, immediately ripped them of the shelf. I thought I hadn’t seen it before and thats because it’s was printed before I ever became a Newsagent.
