SE22 magazine & Living south

[BQC]

We live on Upland road - we only get Living South occasionally and havent seen se22 magazine in ages - are they still being delivered?

[Xena Worried prince]

If you're looking for SE22 mag. you can pick it up from the library. Mind you - they don't do the rumours section anymore which was my fave bit.

SE22 is delivered to some parts of Upland Road but not the whole road. If you used to get it but now don't, please let me know what number you are at and I will confirm if you are on the distribution list. Unfortunately I am unable to deliver to all of SE22, however as wee quinnie points out you can collect a copy at the library and also at various shops and bars in East Dulwich.

Just e-mail [email protected] if you want to check if you should be getting a copy. I appreciate knowing if there are any problems with delivery so I can try to rectify them.

Cheers

i also suspect that the publishers may be 'fiddling' with the print runs these days as a result of the ad revenue from estate agents having dropped off a cliff. The circulations are not audited and the biggest fixed cost for any publisher is print & distribution, which is the first to go in a downturn. The old living south publishers pumped up the circulation during the good times (when it was owned by our old parent compnay) and they may now be concentrating on the higher value demographics in wimbledon / putney etc.

Living South mag is at least two thirds smaller than what it was 18 months ago.. I know this as I'm an advertiser and keep editions.

I do not think this is all because of the 'downturn' either, more i think because advertisers (who still exist!) have found more effective/ cheaper/ efficient ways to reach all corners of south London.

SE Magazines are great but owing to their popularity/ limited distribution not always easily found. And yes, am a big fan of print publishing in general but i was born in the '70s, which makes me officially old skool (apparently)! :)

I live in se22 and emailed asking why we never received se22 only to be told we were out of the catchment area for deliveries.

I have recently started receiving SE15 magazine despite living in se22 and not being able to receive se22 magazine?

Anyway having read the recent se22 and se15 i now realise they are both full of the same ads every month anyway so not really bothered anymore!

I much prefer living south magazine but havent received it for a while either.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Quite frankly, the SE15 mag has little to do with Peckham, it's mostly filled with E Dulwich/Dulwich stuff.

However, the street names articles have been v. informative.

I also the printed form better than this internet stuff or worse those e-books! I want the smell of a new book and to browse not download a file to an updated etch-a-sketch.

SE22 mag has become increasingly irrelevant - the Rumours section quickly became hilariously out of date and fairly pointless now that we have the likes of Macroban on the internet thingamiggy keeping us well informed. Even the property in the ads had always been sold by the time it went to press. And the early excitement of the newly arrived middle classees on learning of a long awaited fresh fish shop/bar/baby wear store opening is all looking a bit 2005 now. It'll be a gradual turnover of these established businesses to variants of the same and more chains from now on.

Then there was the My Week column, an exercise in mind boggling vanity on the editors part as she shared the minutae of her rather uneventful Dulwich week with us in detail. Like a printed blog but without the action.

The one exception? Roullier White's column e.g. "At Easter we love to have friends to stay.... and what better to sustain them than a quails egg souflee!". Brilliant.

They do kindly put in info about our music events :)

And I like the new layout of SE22

I live off North Cross Road and get both SE22 and Living South delivered regularly

[joom]

I live on Overhill Road which seems too hilly for either magazine's distribution network.

Hooray!
