Practical Boat Owner Issues

HELP

Are there any avid PBO readers out there that just have to own a huge glut of monthly copies of this mag.

I'm sinking under the weight of them, haven't even taken the wrappers off a lot of them and what's more they're still landing on my hallway mat every month.   

(Yes I know that I should cancel my subscription).

 

No doubt there would have come a time when I would have enjoyed reading the odd article BUT thy're in my way and must go urgently.

FREE of course and for collection in Kent.

Any takers?

I've got my own 30 year + glut, but at least I've read them..

I know someone in Kent who must have a 60yr glut of them, and I dont suppose you and he are the only ones!

They will make your recycling bin heavy!!!!!!

Crewed a few times for Denny Desouter when he moved his cutter to Ridge Wharf in the early 80's. Damned if I can remember the name of his boat. I think it was a Harrison Butler.

I switched to an online version.

I'm reminded of the guy who stored a glut of magazines in his attic until the roof structure gave way under the weight.

When I moved from Manchester to Runcorn in 1993 I had a spare bedroom stacked with every Waterways World, Canal and Riverboat and on a different tack every Modern Tramway from the early 1960s. The whole lot was binned. Now in the days of ebay, how do I regret it!

and a lot of them were marine magazines, but the guy lived somewhere like Birmingham, and had never had a boat or access to one..

I was very similar too Fred.....although the year and the magazine topics were very very different
