    This allows you to get 3 copies for £1, and also to view the Free May Copy via the link...

    Hope this helps :) (if it does, please hit the THANKS button :)

    That's great! No problems at all with doing it that way :T :T :T . After all it now means I get three copies for just £1 and I can cancel the direct debit before it starts. I wouldn't have minded waiting in the queue on the phone - it was more the fact that I had been told I was in a queue and then they cut me off - that's just adding insult to injury :rolleyes: .
    Some people hear voices, some see invisible people. Others have no imagination whatsoever :D

    Just ordered mine, took less than a minute, very nice chap on the other end of the phone who was quite happy when I declined the additional offer. Maybe ringing later in the evening is the way to go. I am now looking forward to my freebie mag coming through the post. :rotfl:

    :T Got straight through, no problems. Was asked if I wanted to take up the offer of 3 for a £1 - I declined. Was perfectly ok about it - just asked if I read any other BBC publications. Phone lines are open until 8.45 pm ..so maybe ringing later in the day IS the best time?
