IMPORTANT NOTE, 7 July 2018
Having spent years uploading FT issues as e-magazines on the "Issuu" website - we can no longer do this! ---- up to FT-56, Jan 2018, still on Issuu, still accessible for you to read, -- but we cannot change anything we have placed on Issuu.
Meanwhile, we are trying out  "Yumpu" as an e-mag provider - seem to be readable (and is is a lot easier to upload than Issuu ever was).
LATEST ISSUE, as PDF for you to download (on right)
or we have added this "Yumpu" e-magazine as an alternative (below).
Seems fine to us; please let us know if it works/doesn't work for you.
