Where's the best place to get PICs from in the UK?

I'd sent off a cheque to HB Electronics for half a dozen 16C74s, but by
the time it got there they'd sold out of them - and they say there's a 6
week lead time on getting hold of any more...

I know Maplin & RS have stock, but at 30 ukp & 25 ukp respectively,
they're a bit of a rip off..

Any suggestions?  (preferably from a company that doesn't insist you
open up an account with them, & takes VISA)
