"How to keep a captive audience"

"How to keep a captive audience"

I have unashamedly just copied the title of this item from Nick Jervis' article on page 13 of last week's Gazette.

I spend much of my time sitting in law firms' reception areas and are completely stunned by what I find in too many of them.  My current records so far are :-

- a 1998 copy of the Land Rover Owner's Club magazine.

- a 2002 issue of Hello magazine!

- a flyer advertising employment seminars for dates in 2004.

- one reception had information/legacy donation forms from 24 different charities (yes, I counted them).

Do you know any better?
