plenty of places on the net to get stuff, most, if not all, will take
credit cards (or Paypal, or...) and send you the stuff. But the days
of being able to pop into a local shop for a 1k resistor are very
much over.
Maplins still have shops and they still sell components - they
had LDRs available when I needed one a few months ago.
Admittedly most of the shop if full of kits and pre-built
stuff, but they still do individual components.
They aren't local (to me) though.
