Well it is now Sunday 21st and I didn't receive anything in the mail on Friday. I will give them Moday for it to arrive (not that I expect it to) before I send them ANOTHER email.One possibility is one of their databases is out of sync. I recall many months ago getting a renewal notice. I logged in to pay, time seemed to go really quickly since I last paid, and it said I was paid up until 2010! After contacting them several months later about several missing issues they updated my expiry to early 2011 now. Since about then, I have not received an issue except September (the plastic looked it had gone via the Moon). Maybe they have one database that keeps track of subscriptions, which has me as 2011, and another one that keeps track of which ones are to be sent, which has me as expired. Some sort of glitch may have got the two out of sync, hence the renewal notice? My wife suggested that I cancel my subscription open a new account and transfer the balance over to the new account, maybe this will work. I dropped into the newsagent yesterday and picked up a copy of Astronomy, which looks good. Maybe I can get them to transfer my credit over to their rival magazine and they can put S&T in a black hole (where the Sun don't shine).
