I'm Dave.
Did you write for Hi-fi for Pleasure then, Dave?
If so, did you get to meet any of the 'foxy chicks' on the covers of the mag?

Oops! Could say that was a Freudian slip, or a pun as photography is another interest of mine and collegues would jokingly refer to the mags as 'Amateur Pornography' or 'Creative Pornography'! A lot of people still confuse nude photography with pornography. It really was a typo - honest!
At least it proves my posts are read. When I used to write reports at work, I would always include an unusual word or phrase, so as to check that they were read. If people asked "what does ** mean?", I knew they had read the report.
I do have one or two copies of the magazine when it was originally 'Hi-Fi News', but my qualification is correct: from becoming 'Hi-Fi News & Record Review', it is now simply called 'Hi-Fi News'.simply Hi-Fi News in the first place
Anyway it's time to get back to my reading the latest copy of 'Rubber Weekly'!
