I've been having similar problems with the WH Smiths in Camberley, Surrey. All three used to be stocked, but when I subscribed to Linux Format, and dropped it from WHS's in-store ordering service, they helpfully dropped all three magazines. Both the in-store ordering service and on the shelves. 3 months and many complaints got Linux Format, and Linux User back on the shelves and back in my folder. Unix U&D is been a problem for more than three months. I finally got a helpful sole (WH Smith employee) to dig into the problem. Unix U&D was a monthly but apparently has switched to 6x per year. The local WHS informed me that the next issue of Unix U&D will be out 29th of June.
