I believe he's from Ireland too (same as me). Actually there is only one
shop so far I could find here in Dublin where you just go in and buy some
components: Maplin. Unfortunately Maplin is UK based and many times they do
not have in stock all of those components that is on the catalog. I'd say
too many times... Sometimes hard to get 100nF... However, a pack of LED is
easy, as they have that lucky bag which contains many LEDs different
colours, shapes and sizes. Also Radionics delivers in 2 days in my
experience. Fairchild and Digikey also good source here. So yes, end-of-the
world (next stage is America if you go a bit further to the west) but even
here he could have get those LEDs very easy.

PS: Maplin is open at Sunday too...
