I get stuff like this by mail order from germany actually; just as cheap
and only UK Vat to pay, not extra import duty.

You might also try phoning up SEMI ICS Ltd on 0932 241 866.  They
send me a price list yesterday with no prices on it!  I'd like to
see how much they charge nowadays.  (years back, when I was in the
BBC Micro ram board business, I used to haggle reasonably good prices
out of them.  They *might* not be too keen on one-offs though...)
