Apparently blue film is widely available in England. Here it  is totally 
unavailable from all but a single supplier who does not sell it by  the roll, 
but rather in small pieces. I am grateful that the supplier does, in  fact, 
go to a lot of effort to buy this film from England, as it seems that it  is 
impossible to get without sending funds overseas, and contending with the  
intricacies of the VAT system.
 
But, the question arises as to why it is still the norm in  classes in the 
US for the teacher to arrive with the patterns printed on white  paper, 
rather than on blue paper, since at home we are all responding to the  
unavailability of blue film by photo copying the pattern onto blue paper or  
card, 
which is laughably easy and cheap. The only time I need the blue film is  when 
I go to a class. 
 
When something is unavailable, people switch to other things  instead.
