FYI, we have a fairly nice store in Broken Arrow run by British folk that is called Things UK. We have requested favorites and they get them for us. Tuck that into your 'emergency' resources list when you live in the U.S. if you live anywhere remotely near us. If you end up in Dallas, they have a nice UK store as well as Houston has a marvelous one in Rice Village. (it is sad I know this, no?)
