Maplin are pretty much the best electronics shop around.

I mean, apart from being the *only* place in all of Christendom which 
can sell you (say) a 50kohm resistor, their staff have a clue about what 
they're supposed to be selling, and if you take something back they will 
exchange it or give you your money back (provided it isn't obviously 
busted).

Their website utterly sucks, by the way...
