The best bit is " a bollock balm for men."

Yes, I know the sentence continues, but really, I'd have thought it a tad difficult to sell a "bollock balm for women."

Or, being female, am I missing something? Apart from the obvious, that is! ;)

One would hope Cmoi that you are indeed otherwise........... Crikey 😝

Just a tip... you may well be able to get Runners World on free download from your local library (UK). I can!

I use an app called Readly you can share your subscription with others too. It’s about Β£7 a month and I share it with my Mum and Husband. I read 3 RW yesterday, which at Β£4.99 a pop makes the subscription very economical.

I’m not one for pushing things but this is a great app. I do read other magazines too and with the others it’s cheap. πŸ“–πŸ˜ƒ

I understand.. I’m a bit like that with my kindle, I mix it up with actual books. I think it’s because magazines seem so expensive nowadays, plus my Mum gets the enjoyment out of reading recipes etc ha ha... when she sees one she likes, she saves the page to her photo album.

I think you can share to 5 people or 5 devices.

Total agreement Jules, magazine purchasing feels a tad naughty given the costs, I may have actually photographed the odd page pic In the shops whilst perusing 🀫
