Does anyone have any idea when this is coming to the UK?

I have searched in vain for a while now to try and find solid info on this..

Here is the latest from inside adsense group (particularly vague...):-

Please note that Checkout referrals
are currently only available for U.S. publishers, and Google Checkout
is currently only available for buyers with a U.S. credit card. We hope
to make both Checkout and Checkout Referrals available in more
countries soon.

BUT - I have to say although their charges are amazing at present - if you are setting up a small online shop and do not want to go down the route of a fully featured shopping cart like oscommerce then it is not as good as the paypal option.

e.g. you can create a 'buy now' button but NOT and 'add to cart' button like you can do with paypal...

Also - in the UK they currently only accept payment in UK Pounds (GBP) - which is a bummer if you have clients from the USA (Maybe this will change in the not too distant future?)
