More likely to have been stopped because they get ripped off the front pages in the badly tied bundles bumping about in the van between the wholesaler and the newsagent.Andrew wrote:Do they still have sweets taped to the front cover every now and then, or has that stopped due to the 'obesity timebomb'
Plus the fact that if you did rip them off, you ended up ripping off half the front page with it! It really was a comic strip then.Nick Harvey wrote:More likely to have been stopped because they get ripped off the front pages in the badly tied bundles bumping about in the van between the wholesaler and the newsagent.Andrew wrote:Do they still have sweets taped to the front cover every now and then, or has that stopped due to the 'obesity timebomb'

I would of course understand if you wanted to first approve each issue first by having a quick read, that would be fine in my book.miss hellfire wrote:I must make it clear that i only buy the Beano these days for the kids to read while waiting for a haircut. It is not for my own personal pleasure.
