That's sad. My local Fred Meyer (a US based chain of grocery stores) has

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
Is solid CO2 considered a hazardous substance in
the UK? You can get
it in just about any medium-sized city in the US, usually sold by
"ice companies". Can one buy acetone in the UK, or is that also on
the proscribed list?
Your "friendly neighbourhood hardware store" won't sell it to you, and
neither will the chemists.... but that's what eBay is for :)
You can get everything you need to kickstart a cupric chloride etch tank from
ebay -- that's basically concrete cleaner (hydrochloric acid), high-strength
hyrdogen peroxide, and a lump or two of scrap copper.
Dry ice... that's a little harder.
