One of the main Poundland stores in Newcastle (upon Tyne) was totally out of Vista when I checked on Saturday ... I had to buy two bottles of sink-unblocker to make up for my disappointment.
Try Asda, some stores still have the photo labs and are a good price. Only thing is the scans aren't brilliant.Had it in the Inverness store today and it's dated 9/2018, so not old stock. One roll is dated 12/2018, so must be different batch/delivery. I had a hard job finding it amongst all the other stuff in the shop, but the assistant was very helpful and showed me where it was. Disappointed to find that Jessops website returns "no hits" when searching for film developing or processing, (we've still got a Jessops) so that'll mean posting it to Filmdev according to the other thread.

I bought a few today from the Hillsborough store in Sheffield, dated 2018 but they didn't have loads. It's by no means my favourite film but it's come in handy and will be a shame if it becomes unavailable.
I thought Agfa vista was basically re-labelled fuji?
My thought is that if enough of us worldwide continue to buy it (if I can find it in Poundland), then Agfa will continue to produce it. Fingers crossed eh?

Tudor Colour XLX200 is allegedly the same as Vista too.
No Vista in the Congleton Poundland. I asked somebody and they said 'oh, I didn't think anyone bought film'.
Apparently Poundland in Crewe had a small pile of it just over a week ago, I say apparently as someone else got 3 rolls for me while they were in Crewe, so I didn't see it myself. So you could always try there, perhaps phone them first and ask, if you can find a phone number for them?
I've never shot film I might get a few rolls I have two film camera here I've never used.

Might be worth it. There's also the Poundland at Emerson's Green if you are on the North side of Bristol. I got a good stock there whe they had a 10% off day, so 90p.Ooh, I wonder if the Bristol branches might be getting some in too
I'll check my local store on Saturday. I'm happy to buy a load and post them out to you guys if needed.
That's a very kind offer, but it actually seems to be available online with a £5 charge for delivery, although I didn't go right through to see if there is a restriction on the numbers you can order.

You can order 1 roll only!
It was all I used from 1962 till I got a digital finepix 2800S...I've never shot film I might get a few rolls I have two film camera here I've never used.
I have a praktica BM electronic here I was going to try it with. I assume it has a relatively modern accurate metering system it's not that old I'd say it was bought early 90s.It was all I used from 1962 till I got a digital finepix 2800S...
It is fun and as for metering, thereare some reasonably accurate light meter apps you can stick on your phone to check the camera metering (if it has one).
The frames available and cost of processing will force discipline on shooting, no memory card for 500 JPG and RAW shots, every frame counts!

I've been down tonight and bought 2 rolls! They had approx 100 rolls on the shelf.
