Why subscribe?
Why the hell wouldn’t you now you’ve come this far?
If you’re interested in London (and remember what Sam the Man Johnson said in ‘77* ”man’s tired of London, he’s tired of life”), sex, drugs, rock ‘n roll, death, my Parkinson’s progress - and the hell of trying to write well - then this is place for you. And if you’re not interested in any of those things I’d still give it a whirl - you never know you might learn something.
Founder, annual or monthly paid subscription?
If you are immensely rich then you should take out the £60 a year founder subscription and then give most of your money away - you’ll feel so much better once you’ve done that. For those who feel they are only very rich rather than immensely rich you can still take on the mantel of being a founder member but at price of your own deciding.
If you’re just comfortably off and can afford to take a punt on a unknown writer rambling on about his boring sufferings from a dull disease, trips to dull suburban tube stations and half baked stories of youthful drunkenness in 1960’s London, then be a saint and take out the annual subscription - a steal at £36 a year.
And if you’re really squeezed for cash then frankly I would rather you spent £4 a month on buying yourself an extra coffee or supporting something really worthwhile like a charity for elderly first time writers.
And the money all goes to treats for me like a coffee and croissant - all of which helps boost my Parkinson’s depleted dopamine - which in turn keeps me writing and seeing the bright side of life.
*1777 Doc Ben Johnson said "Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."
