Everyone buys it eventually! . . .

The Independent recently said of us: ´the most original magazine in the country ...their eclectic embrace of human variety is a monthly rebuke to the formulaic, celebrity-led concept of features in our newspapers and magazines.´

The novelist PD James called us ´an indispensible antidote to the triviality if the 21st-century´

Terry Wogan also added: ´age only matters if you are a cheese.´
