TESCO
STOCK MAVERICK
Tesco
stores across the UK have taken up the option to sell Maverick,
This doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to buy the magazine in
any Tesco store. It is down to the individual store manager
as to whether he/she takes up the option to have copies of the
magazine on display and for sale. If the manager thinks there’s
a demand in his area then he/she will stock it.
To
help create that interest and demand we ask all our readers,
each time they go into a Tesco store, to ask if they stock Maverick.
If they don’t then please try and persuade them to. The more
copies we can get displayed in Tesco stores, the better chance
we have of increasing circulation. Your help with this is much
appreciated.

IMPORTANT
Information About This Website!
|
| After
spending
the last 2 years in and out of hospital due to chronic illness,
twice undergoing major surgery, the Metro Country website has become
very neglected. However, the site is now undergoing a major update
and, hopefully, will be back in full operation very soon. I hope
you will give us your full support and keep on checking back. Thank
you! Ray Grundy |
