try WHSmith (ours carried it but was sold out), local newsagents,
but the big one is SUPERMARKETS, especially out of town ones. The Asda-Walmart near us had THREE copies of which we bought one - Tesco, Sainsbury's, M&S, anywhere with a magazine and trashy travel novel aisle might have it. And the WHSmith/supermarket outlets at train stations (they're more likely to carry a wider range of magazines, because people buy them to read on the train).
My dad says it's the last place most people look, which is why he thinks he was able to find it there
Also you can usually ask the staff, especially at book stores, if they
- carry the magazine at all
- had it in stock but it sold out
- have it in stock but you can't find it (they will help you)
- have more in the back
- can order more for later in the month
Be polite and they'll probably be helpful or tell you upfront if they don't have that info.
Good luck though ;-; The fact it restocked online once makes me hopeful they're realising they underestimated demand, stand to make a profit, and will print reruns throughout the month. But don't hold me to that, obviously.
