Best of British
In the September issue of “Best of British” magazine, there is an interesting two page article about Enid Blyton. It is entitled “A Bob’s Life”. It is written by Claire Saul, who “admires the linguistic skills of Bobs, Enid Blyton’s beloved terrier”.
In the same magazine, there is an interesting two page article about the early 1950s BBC Radio series, Journey into Space. How well I remember listening to the cliff-hanging weekly half hour episodes. Wonderful!

Re: Best of British
I looked for that magazine in three shops earlier this afternoon, including a large WHSmith, but sadly none of them had it in stock.

Re: Best of British
Here is the cover of the September issue of Best of British:
It costs £4.40.
I’m surprised that you weren’t able to find a copy in WHSmith, Anita. Perhaps you’ll have to order it.

Re: Best of British
I checked out the cover online, Eddie, so I'd know what I was looking for. I had a look in one shop again today but they still didn't have it.

Due to the marvels of science a most amazing (and lithe) goalkeeping friend of mine let me peruse his copy!

Who's that, Pete, Bert Cunningham? I wonder how his brother, Bill, is getting on.
Thanks for the e-mail, Eddie.
