Hi,
There used to be a really good supplier of all sorts of F/O and opto-electronics called "Polytechnik" but I think they folded years ago. Sonce then we've been pretty limited here in the UK as to the range of what we can get - and it's twice the US price.
On the postive side, Hobby's stock far more than 1mm F/O and at as good a price as you'll get in the UK. The Hobby's catalog is also readily availavble in WH Smiths, Menzies, etc. You can pay using cheque/postal order.

It's EU so probably cheaper than ordering from the US and you can use normal bank transfers, since it's inside the EU
