    I was just told today that i won't be recieving them for a while because there was a fire at the publishers and they are all now a pile of ash.

    I don't know if this just effects my area and if so, how big that area is, but it means that i now have to wait ages while they re-print.

    Tomorrow I'm going to ask my newsagent (who gets them for me) if he can find out anything
    further on this. If he does I will let you all know.

    Fact Files are avaliable in lots of countries, including our commenwealth neighbours Australia.

    Not in our un-commenwealth neighbours, the US however.

    Yeah, I know that, but how would the burning of the UK wareyhouse affect Australians? Unless they get their Fact Files from us? But I don't think that is likely.

    Issue 54 - the one with a picture of a handmaiden on the front - is on shelves all over Ireland. I guess the stock that makes its way over here is still fine.
