TripEnglish: I'm waiting for 355f to say, "The Pricetags!" (fingers crossed) Don't worry, Flappo got in there first with his useful comment.

I'd somewhat agree. I don't think I've recently used my A9. A couple of times it turned on the TV by mistake, managed to turn off my landlords B&O TV whilst we were watching a movie (the keyring was in my pocket) and it can't be assigned to turn on, say, V.MEM which means I then have to find my remote and switch to V.MEM (Sky).

I'm sure Beolab or The Stig will be the first to know, based on past experience. If you need to ask again, just add a query to your previous thread/question.

I hear a BV6-40 has been announced internally, although with no release date. I heard 'Q4 2008' though. Not sure why there won't be a BV6-32. I'm not sure why they just don't release a BV6-26, BV6-32 and BV6-40, as well as a BV8-26, BV8-32 and BV8-40, covering all bases.

355f: Birmingham, worcs, No, they are both re-opening. Same situation as the Bath store.

I know this as one of the employees is working in the Bath store and is heading back to the Worcester store
