http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk
I recently found this supplier. They are based in York and supply a reasonable range of Pololu and Sparkfun robotics parts, microcontrollers, sensors etc.
Prices are pretty reasonable, as is postage (free over £50). Delivery is lightning-fast, they give Farnell a run for their money!
Payment is via PayPal so you don't even have to trust them with your bank/card details (assuming you trust PayPal )

I just noticed that they do the Pololu 50:1 HP motoers for £13 which is as cheap as I have seen them so I have just put in my first order.

Re: AntWeight Parts Online & Offline
Just found this ebay shop called BestValueZone who sell the cheaper motorgearboxes.
Although at £6.85 including p&p they are dearer than the cheapest I have found, they are in this country so no long delays or chance of taxes.

They also have a large range of other bit including tiny switches.

This was the link to them on ebay.

Unfortunately you cant buy from that link anymore and if you go to their ebay shop (bestvaluezone) and find them you now have to buy from China at £6.40.
If you are going to buy from china they are cheaper from ebay shop (hercolor) at £5.89 both are free delivery.
