            As soon as I started contracting it stopped.

            Wasn't Verity Stob one of the contributors, or am I conflating it with Computing etc. which also sent me mags for years.
            I'm sure Verity went to the register for a bit as did the bastard operator from hell
            merely at clientco for the entertainment

              IIRC Freelance Informer was given away free with Computing Weekly occasionally wasn't it? Or maybe my addled memory is tricking me.

                I well remember the Pringle eating contest, who could eat the most in one mouthful at once. 35 won I think. I managed 15 and one chap in the office did 22.
