You have our ear
ot, it must be said, in a Vincent van Gogh sense. That would be awfully messy. No, after 20-odd years of handling readers’ missives – many thanks, Paula – was very good at filtering our mailbag into admin issues (change of address, subscription glitch, dog ate my magazine, etc), commercial matters (off to the relevant department) and letters to the editor, which arrive in my inbox. I can’t answer them all, though I do give it a try, and we can’t publish them all without dropping the wine coverage entirely. But they are all read and taken note of. And if you look at the cover of this issue you’ll see the evidence. After a number of magazine collectors complained that the cover date had become unhelpfully small, we’ve reinstated a bigger, clearer dateline. It’s a relatively minor change, but it does prove that we listen closely to our readers’ views. Sorry, what did you say again..?
