Has anyone else ordered this months kitchen Garden magazine on line?

This advert caught my eye on saturday!


Kitchen Garden
January 2006 - No.100



Order the current issue of Kitchen Garden and get TWO FREE packs of Fothergill seeds!
You will be given a random selection from: Basil, Spring Onion, Carrots or Tomatoes

Offer open until 31st December 2005

I thought what a good idea :idea:
That will save me a trip down to the news agent :!:

And free seeds to boot.

The said mag arrived today , but alas no free seeds, so I contacted Mortons Media Group by phone being told that I had come through to the wrong dept the nice lady gave me another number to ring :D . This time I was told single current issues were counted as back issues :? , given another number by another nice lady :lol: This time I came through to the right deptment , The third lady hadn't got a clue what I was taking about and made it more than obvious that I was taking up far to much of her time by being very short and impatient with me. She promises to send me the seeds by post and with a curt good bey and a very loud Huff :!: :!: :!: puts the phone down :x :cry:

Has any one else had this problem

Hello Mark,
I too ordered (online)and received the mag. but not the seeds. I've done nothing about it but I was considering emailing Mr Ott. (SteveOtt(at)mortons.co.uk) I THINK that's the address. If I start making phone calls I'd end up with expensive seeds, such are my telephone arrangements.
I think it's a poor show, I have to say, and it discourages me from placing the subscription I was contemplating.

I also got my Magazine 3 days after I ordered it not the "next day" I was expecting and no seeds so I phoned the nice lady. I think that she was being boiled in a pot when I phoned. She couldn't have been more unhelpful.
