Room 2D

From Blushes 39 Brrrinnnggg. Brrinnnnggg. The phone. Again. Stanley Cardew mutters an expletive under his breath. He has only just replaced the receiver. With an anguished expression he picks it up again. It is a good job he is not an excitable man. ‘Hello. Cardew Partners.’ Forcing his voice into polite, sympathetic tones. He listens. Rolling his eyes. He has heard it before, so many times. The basic problem is that demand greatly exceeds supply. One might imagine in broadly economic terms that for a supplier this would be an ideal situation. But it is not. It simply creates unending hassle, agitation, aggravation. ‘I’m very sorry.’ The tones are kept meek and apologetic. ‘I’m afraid we simply do not have anyone. At the moment.’ There follows the usual response. No one will accept this answer. They all assume there is at least one who must be free. One who is being kept for an especially favoured client.

Story from Uniform Girls 16. Pretty model, I'm not sure I've seen her in anything else.

So that Henry Hollings did still now act that way back in England and Little Alwood’s inhabitan...

Dear Sirs, I am sure that many aficionados of your so excellent issues will be as pleased as I am that your wider distribution enables us to purchase them so much easier than heretofore. Until very recently it was necessary for me to take a special ‘away day’ to the ‘Smoke’ to make sure that my collection of Blushes , Supplement and Uniform Girls was bang up to date. Now there are at least two regular outlets stocking your publications in this neck of the stockbroker belt so the drain on income has now noticeably reduced.

I particularly applaud two recent changes in your editorial policy as personified in the latest copies of the Supplement 26 , Blushes 39 and Uniform Girls 22 . Firstly the cover girl appears in the body of your magazine as the main course so to say rather than a h...
