my local WB store in Bluewater.

WB UK tell a new story every time they are asked.  This is certianly 
not what thier Head Office told me back in June.

If anyone feels like writing to WB UK - their address is:

THE COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR
WARNER BROS STUDIO STORES LIMITED 
1 TENISON COURT
OFF REGENT STREET
LONDON
W1R 5LP

Quite.  Did you read my article at http://www.broomsticks.org
It's staying there until WBros does something about it - they can't 
sue me as it's all true and they know it.  Just a thought Alix, have 
you complained to Watchdog?   Please do visit their site - 
www.bbc.co.uk/watchdog and fill in the form with a complaint along 
the lines of it not being fair for us Brits not to be getting the HP 
merchandise, when HP is a British thing.   If more people complain, 
Watchdog may take up the campaign for us - and get WB to release 
first in the UK... after most if not all is IMPORTED to the US 
anyway, very little is made there - so why do the WB UK stores have 
to buy through the US, can't they go direct to the suppliers?

>Mind you, I know that even in the US, people are having

is way outstripping supply.

Yes, that as well, but WB really should have known that would 
happen.  I have finally recieved an invoice for my Bookends... though 
no bookends yet.  Only 3 and half months late!  I wonder when the 
bookends themselves will arrive.

>> Harry's home.

No... but the 2001 Calendar is sort of UK specific, as it's printed 
here - so in terms of a collectors item, collectors will probably 
want both the UK printed version and the US printed version - that 
is, if Calendars are worth collecting.

WH Smith are selling Calendars - they have some stores at Airports in 
the US, so those of you in the US may be able to find the UK 
Calendars there.

Who is very unhappy that WB is ignoring the UK.
