tried rswww.com but its ridiculous, i only want 1 or 2 of various components, so made my order up, came to about 13 quid, fair enough i thought went to checkout, but no, was told that minumum order for most stuff was 5 or 10 min, after adjusting that, the order came to 60 quid!!!
f-ing ridiculous, show me places i can get components 1 or 2 bits a time

There are alot of suppliers on eBay who might be able to help you. Ask one of the component shops if they can fullfill your list.

I would guess Maplin have all of that, and perhaps elsewhere for the ICs if they don't.

Yeah most maplins stores seem to have an area at back where you can ask and they will scurry off and get bits, don't think they display every type of component

I used to get all of my college stuff from Maplins - I worked there. Amazing staff discount on stuff you can fit in your pockets.

In the 2 I use on the regular there is always someone there who knows their stuff.
I agree Halfords is fucking awful these days, I know, I used to shag a Halfords bird.
