Yeah, the BBC are rubbish.

I subscribe to the BBC Music Magazine. Despite it's title it is only for fans of classical music. It IS a very good magazine, informative articles, good CD reviews and info about concerts etc, and the 'free' CD is usually of interest to me, often BBC orchestras/recordings but sometimes also other orchs. and soloists from elsewhere.

I first subscribed about 15 years ago, stopped for a while but subscribed again last year. I was pleased with the extra (real) free gift of a Brahms CD set.

They change the free gift offer frequently, like every three months it changes to a different CD set or a book.

The thing that gets my goat is that every month I get an e-mail from BBC saying Free Gift to Subscibers!

Yeah, it's not free gifts for current subscribers, just new subscribers, or in fact it's for people who are NOT subscribers but who decide they will...... Rolling Eyes

So, if I'm not a new subscriber why send me the monthly e-mail?

This mail turned out longer than expected Laughing
