Whenever I go into Smiths there is sea of Anoraks that one has to elbow aside, to read Old Steam Monthly ( I get it for the nostalgia) - and HHO has plenty of such Titles including some for the missus.
They also run the Model Engineer Exhibition at Sandown Park (the 2.30 was won by 4-6-2 also known as Lucky Jim)
Howcome there is zero interest (ie Postings) here? Don't you chaps read on the train, or are you armed only with a crumpled FT to fend of Muggers and Poor People?.....
Mindyou as a corporate business HHO are pretty laid-back with their sales efforts....something that might just improve their performance now that Smiths has culled the marginal Mags....... this doesn't include "Shares" which is still available at my local high-street shop.
Chuff, chuff.

Blown out of the water by the Competition Commission. HUH - what competition?
................................................................................
HHO have been shown to be a bunch of losers - good titles and editorials etc. but the business lacks DRIVE.
They need to be promoting their titles with every mag IMHO (and have said so) for people that read about their hobby are just as likely to want to read about something else. Publishers have a real problem with their "overs" so they ditch 'em (keeping a few for back-orders) - what would be so much better would be a Magazine club, if say you take out a subscription for +20% over - then you would receive extra mags as they become available. The postage is "paid for" and the mag is only going to be scrapped - the 20% is pure profit and IT Might result in a second subscription!
HHO lacks Vision - that's IMHO but it looks to be FACT - they couldn't Organise the Proverbial!
The lack of interest in HHO (on investor threads) really says it all - they are boring and likely to go broke - not IF, only When?

The Independant (Monday 6 June05 ) had an interesting article on HHO.
More-or-less saying (much better) what I've been trying to say: (see above "No Hobby Mags then?").
As there is zero interest here (in HHO), I am wasting my time expounding any further feelings, other than to say that the Directors should not sleep soundly - they have destroyed what should be an exciting business. People are reading more mag titles than ever before and there is no excuse that HHO Directors can have, when they have made such a FIST of their titles. They should leave quietly, without benefits - which have not been earned.
