How far does your copy of The Word travel? Can you beat 12,000 miles?

Apparently, Dunedin (my current home town) is the furthest city in the world from London. I therefore reckon that I have a fair shout at being the subscriber/massive member who lives further from Word Towers than any other.
In fact, according to http://www.daftlogic.com/projects-google-maps-distance-calculator.htm the precise distance from 90-92 Pentonville Road to my house is 11871.276 miles (or 19104.966 km). Can anyone beat that?

given I am still waiting so see John Peel on the cover
I reckon my copy must be doing its third lap of the globe as we speak
Drop a note
to Jerry with your details, if you haven't already. It shouldn't take that long.
Thanks Fraser
I will do that too: my copy hasn't reached Perth yet.
My last couple of issues have each taken about 3 weeks to arrive
but they did get here in the end. I assume that this month's was held up by the ash cloud, but if it hasn't arrived by the weekend, I'll let Jerry know too.
Yay!
It arrived today!
Maybe it gets delivered by
Flying Nun
Funnily enough
Flying Nun has just been bought back from Warners by Roger Shepherd.
New signings and back catalogue action coming soon by all accounts.
Can't beat that
but the last issue did keep me going through an ash-extended sojourn to Kenya. And yes, as it incorporated a safari, I read Heppo amid the hippos.
My copy arrived into Sydney on Tuesday.
