I still buy it. It is a bit hit & miss but when it hits it is hilarious. The Soft Name Scrappage scheme ad in one of the recent issues had me howling. Here it is:
SOFT NAME SCRAPPAGE SCHEME
TIRED of the same old soft name?
Unable to instill fear at garages, children's football matches and parents evenings?
Is your name ineffective at suggesting imminent violence?
Are you a Julian, Rupert, Giles, Xavier or Quentin?
Trade in your old soft name now, and we'll give you 50% off a real HARD northern name.
Names currently available:
Micky Padgett
Terry Carlisle
Billy Nunn (3 months left)
Lenny Briggs
Alan Graft (minimum 5 year lease)
Gary Wadsworth (subject to availability/appeal)
