As with Land Rovers, go into your town centre and find your indepedent specialist. You should be giving these guys your $$$ and not Jessops OR the internet. Those folk dont know their F stops from their ISO 
A quick google gives you this: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en...roup&ct=more-results&resnum=1&ved=0CCgQtQMwAA
not hard is it!

...as for the Land Rovers... thank you for kind advice I've got google as well, believe or not. However this lens is not very popular - it's been recently released, and it's unlikely it will be found in 2nd hand stores. I said Currys don't have it, so that implies nor the PCworld. Internet stores like amazon - do, but I need to check lens myself before purchase. So the question is, are there any other photo stores, like Jessops. Thanks.

Have you tried ringing the other places? not all are 2nd hand stuff, they usually supply new stuff to. Cant think of other "chain" stores that would carry a range. Cant Jessops order it in for you to look at? even if they get it from another store.

Yes, I have. Most of them do not keep most of the lenses in stock. Jessops can order it, - delivery time up to 28 days - sorry So I think - amazon will be the only reasonable option. They have them in stock here - and should be no problem with exchanging it in case something is wrong. Also provide local warranty. Thanks anyway.

I agree with not going anywhere near a Jessops, they are all staffed by lying satanists.
I have spent about £10 000 online with Warehouse Express, and never had a problem with them. They have a 7 day no questions return policy, so if it doesn't work/fit, just send it back.
If I need to go to an actual store I go to Park Camera's in West Sussex, huge store with knowledgeable staff, but maybe too far a drive from Bradford

London Camera Exchange for me here in Bristol
But I have to admit, I have not bought anything for a while. I have my 300mm lens, standard Tele-photo lens and 60mm macro lens all in a Peli case with my D70. thats all I need
what lens are you actually after Tarsus?
