Am I Loud Enough?

Issue 2 of 'If Things Don't Alter They'll Stay As They Are' - 'Am I loud Enough?' is Avaiable now for Trades (please!!!) £1 and SAE or trades of other sweet or shiney things.

This issue looks a bit different to me. It's also got more to read in it as it's laid out a bit differently.

Amoung my musings are - thinking about children, my experiences with counselling and a rant about men who touch up women they don't know - saturday night sexism.

Looking to sell/trade zines!

Hi everyone,

I would love to trade them with whoever is interested or sell them to whoever would be willing to buy. I prefer trading because I love reading other people's zines. If you could pack my mailbox until it bursts, that would be ideal.
