Too many covers
"Does anybody else find the practice of magazines publishing different variations of front covers for the same month frustrating?" asks Catherine. "Just this week I bought two of the same after picking another one up at the local dairy. Same magazine, entirely different cover. Elle UK has
two April covers with Rihanna on it (above). And Vogue Australia for March did many. Is this a money-making exercise? Magazines can't be returned as it will be presumed they have been read. It's really confusing. Publishers, stop it already!"
Telecom tardy on number updates
A reader writes: "Ever wondered how long it takes for Telecom to update its online info? My wife and I moved from Glendowie to Stanmore Bay in November and Telecom gave us our new number a couple of weeks before we moved. Friends tried to contact us yesterday but couldn't find our new number online. In addition, when I looked for it I couldn't find us under either our old or new addresses. Also, when I searched online for the number of the people who bought our Glendowie house, I found their number still listed under the house they moved out of in November!"
