Subject: RE: BS: Nostalgia? (UK comics)
Milk monitor: "Fabulous 208" started out being called just "Fabulous" and some time or other became connected with Radio Luxemburg and added the "208" to its name. I've still got some copies of it in my shed - I wonder if they are worth much ?

I'd completely forgotten about "Sunny Stories" ! As I remember, it was quite a thick, small format magazine - was it the one that used to have stories about "Winnie the Witch" ? The first comic I used to get was "Robin". Anyone remember that one ? They used to give away really good prizes in their competitions (I won a "Doodlemaster" - like etch-a-sketch) and they used to hold an annual Christmas carol concert for their readers in St. Paul's Cathedral.

My magazine-reading history: Robin - Princess - Jackie - Fabulous 208 - International Times - Cosmopolitan, from its first issue. Goodness, that dates me !   Sadly, I recently caught myself buying the "Essex County" magazine to read an article about a garden I'd visited. Not yet succumbed to Saga magazine, although now eligible. It can only be a matter of time ....
