Way to go. :lol:

That's a very impressive list and surely it is only because of the high quality articles and the wonderful editing by Tony that it is circulated to almost every continent. Well done Tony! :D

A few to go still, we have never had a subscriber in South America and we seem to have been frozen out of the Arctic and Antarctic regions! :lol:

Yes, it is good to see that Uncle Sam gets 13 copies, but out of a population of 307,006,550, it doesn't give much to shout about! :wink:

I think Tony should send a complimentary copy of the journal to NASA. Then they can send it up with their next shuttle. Just imagine, Enid Blyton in Space :lol:

Journal 42 came back from the printers this morning and and after a busy day they are now all sitting in their envelopes ready to fly from the nest tomorrow.

You mean you haven't got gates that open and close magically. Worked by some clever machinery in your house?
