Where do you buy lighting gels from in the UK ?

Hi everyone

I can't find anyone who sells the damn things ! I'm talking about the heat resistance (well, to a point) coloured plastic sheets that you put over your lights to create colour tone effects. I've just spent an hour searching online, photography supplies and so on, and I have drawn a complete blank. Does anybody here know where to get them from ?
