Looks great Craig, and a fantastic idea to put Herbie on issue #53. Is that Alex's genuine Disney Herbie?

The reason Herbie was given the number '53' was thanks to the Love Bug movie's director, Bill Walsh. He was a fan of the baseball team the Los Angeles Dodgers. Their star player back then was Don Drysdale, who played for the Dodgers for 13 years until his retirement in 1969. Drysdale's playing number was 53.

Still waiting here too, our newsagent has had it over a week and a half. So bloody hard seeing it and telling yourself ..."no, wait for it to arrive in the mail."

At the rate they happen around here I couldn't deal with faster, I'd need a 48 hour day.
We get mail deliveries every week day. If the publishing distribution companies can get magazines delivered to the newsagents by set dates, then surely Australia post can get a single item from point a to point b in an equal time.
What date would subscriptions have been mailed Craig?

I share your frustration about Australia Post. I have even adjusted my print and lodge times to make their business look half respectable, and even then I field many enquiries about late magazine delivery from subscribers. They are on their way, but it is unfortunately something I can't control.

No blame to you Craig.
Mainly interested as locals here are thinking of putting a case to the ombudsman. Bills sent out by our town council to local residents were overdue by the time the residents received them. Parts from a shop in WA were freighted to a resident here and a receipt mailed the same day. The parts arrived in 3 days, the receipt took 17.
Bloody shambles, something needs to be done.

Another great magazine Craig
And Ahmed is totally oblivious to the delivery issues 😠😂🤪

Someone really needs to get the ombudsman involved or Current Affair and then get him on camera to explain and apologise 🤘
