It's of limited usefulness there; all the advertisers are from the US and
Canada, and any cost savings you find will be eaten up in shipping and phone
calls to and fro.  We get EW+WW shipped out here, but I wouldn't even think
of ordering anything from Maplin when I have equally good shops here.

Some of the articles are worth reading, and I'd even *pay* for it once in a
while when they're really good.  Getting it for free from one of the
advertisers locally is a much better deal, tho, especially with the volume
of advertising it contains.

The surface (read: slow boat) subscription rate is $50US to the UK, $100US
if you want air service.  At that price, you'd have to be a nut to pay it.
