Please clarify source "checkout"

what is the circulation of this magazine? is it a magazine? can it be considered as definitive compared to the leading market research company in the UK, TNS, referenced above?

and while you're comparing a magazine to a market research company could you please tell us how a dog compares to a housebrick

In Prypriat they are identical

p.s it was not clarified whether checkout was market research or a magazine

Objection - The question should state 'All Time Favourites' I took it the question as Favourite in 2003!  I did ask this before submitting because my all time favourite would have been Rebecca!
