Many magazine across the board have reached this curious
position.

Over the years competing titles have gradually brought their
publication dates forward, presumably in an attempt to capture
the market. Naturally there is retaliation, and so it continues.

We now seem to have reached the stage where they reach the shops
two months earlier than that on the cover. It is only a matter of
time, or the realisation of the absurdity of it all, that is
stopping them from passing the next month barrier.

I just get very confused when I read my November 2013 copy of
Gardeners World Magazine which contains the advert for the 2011
Chelsea Flower Show next week.

I often wonder whether the "things to do this month" section relates
to the month in which the magazine reaches me, the month printed on
the cover or three months earlier when the article was written.

Must dash. Off to buy the Christmas tree.
