Cappicade banned but sales up

Cappicade sold almost 24,000 copies this year. Sales were well up on those of other years the editor, Dave Smith, said.

This year's magazine continued the trend of past years towards pungent satire, seasoned with jokes, both sexy and straight.

The combination provoked different reactions.

The 2,627 people of Foxton were deprived of Cappicade by their borough council.

This was the first time, as far as the distribution manager knows, that Cappicade sales had been banned.

Letters were written to the daily newspapers complaining of the "filth". "slander" and "ridicule" in the magazine.

There was concern at the "injustice" to the Catholic Church, and MPs.

But most of these attacks were balanced by letters in defence of Cappicade.

Moral revolution may not have taken place, but at least sales arc going up.
