    You’ve Had It    (about)
    You’ve Had It was a joke/humour magazine published in the UK by Burnley-based Jasmit Publications, named after its founder James Smith. He also published other similar titles, including This Is It and We’re Off. The stories are short and probably inconsequential, but he appears to have published a great many per issue and the magazines ran for years. Jasmit were listed in the local phone book until 1971, although I’ve no idea when the joke magazines came to an end. Details supplied by Steve Holland.
