Motorcycle news. I'm desperate

51 replies

NoCanoe · 25/10/2017 23:45

My brother transferred his Motorcycle News to my address, whilst he away.
I am missing a very important copy. It clearly didn't delivered.

The date is w/c 14th June 2017. .

Does anyone have a copy?

I am more concerned that you are feeling so anxious about this OP.

It's a magazine.
It was your brother who organised the redirection.
You say this happened under "your watch".

Is their some back story to this? I take it your brother is an adult.
If it didn't arrive- then that's his responsibility.

blueskyinmarch · 26/10/2017 07:04

It is hardly your fault it wasn't delivered. You need to get a grip if tell your DB is on your back about it tell him to do one. It is a magazine - hardly life or death.

How is it under your watch? If your brother chose to redirect to your address, that doesn't make it your responsibility to check whether it's been delivered, let alone to chase it up if it isn't.

Did his copy of the Beano arrive too? Confused

cakecakecheese · 26/10/2017 07:59

Call up the magazine and get them to send it to you. My ex did this with MCN, they were happy to help.

If this doesn't work PM me and I'll try and help further.

Sorry, family member can't help.

If all else fails digital copies are available here www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mcn-digital-back-issues/emc1esdi/mcn-digital-issue-14062017

We might have it. He doesn't buy every week, but they tend to end up in the log basket for lighting fires if he does and we haven't lit the fire much this year so far. I'm working in Sweden at the moment but back Friday so can have a look if it can wait until then?

Ta everyone for the advice and suggestions.
@Weeds - I can certainly wait until Friday!! Fingers crossed!
@Banjax - going to go and peruse ebay. Ta for that link!

Its a bit like ' of all the gin joints in all the towns ...she walks into mine'. Of all the issues, I 'lose' this one!! The Isle of Man TT issue. Ugh!!

Try Reddit as well.

Although, Twitter is still your best bet I think - there are always people swapping/finding copies on there.

BriechonCheese · 26/10/2017 23:29

Could you tweet at the publication?

@brie - I have phoned and emailed , the answer is the same! They only go back 3 months.
The more I think of It, the more how stupid that cut off point seems to be. 3 months? That's why I checked by email as well. But still same answer....
My brother attends TT as often as possible and it a big event to him whether he there or not. He always gets the MCN tho!
I've yet to confess....im hoping I don't have to.

@Weeds Thank you for looking!

Thanks to everyone who pitched in. It's not looking hopeful, I'm afraid to say. Sad

First Post- been lurking for years, but finally felt compelled to join as actually had something useful to add.

I have the copy of MCN you are looking for! (Well I don't, DH does- has a stack of the last year's worth, unopened in the corner of the living room, he won't even notice it's gone, but will check later). W/C 14th June does seem to be some kind of bumper edition.

If you PM me, I can post it tomorrow Smile

ZigZagIntoTheBlue · 29/10/2017 09:54

Wow! Well done 4seasons!!

blueskyinmarch · 29/10/2017 10:02
