I just bought a year's subscription on a UK magazine, and found something strange in the confirmation e-mail. Not the "Uh oh, something's wrong" kind of strange, just the "Say again?" kind.
It says:
Start Issue: SEPTEMBER 2009 delivered on or around 15/07/2009
Expiry Issue: AUGUST 2010 delivered on or around 01/08/2010
How can the September issue be out in July? Even considering that sometimes one issue is for two months, that should still be the August issue. And whatever the reason is, shouldn't it exist next year too? So the issue released on 1/8 would be the October issue.
So, you wonderful UK people, what's the explanation?
