Learn to use google or go out and buy an electronics magazine and
look at the adverts.

The amount of general bits and peices I get from ebay sellers in
the far east, paticular Hong Kong, has been going up for a while.

http://rswww.com massive range, fast delivery but high prices
http://www.farnell.co.uk another massive catalouge
http://www.esr.co.uk/ small retailer and mail order dealer
with general stuff at good prices
http://www.cpc.co.uk nicknamed "cheap plastic crap",
cpc's low prices make them worth using despite dispatching
random things instead of what you ordered often enough to
be annoying and IC's arriving looking like they have been
stood
on despite three chips being sent in a 1'x6"x3' box.

and mail order, good for obsolete transistors
http://www.grandata.co.uk/ good for hard to find parts for repairing
older equiment
http://www.maplin.co.uk not bad if they have what you want but
dispatch the wrong parts by mail order often enough to be
annoying.

If you live near a big city you may find an independant retailer
in the area.

If you want to buy general parts like resistors, common transistors
and diodes in large quantitys (UKP500+ minimum order) then
there are various trade only suppliers like arrow
http://www.arrowne.com/

For semiconductors and connectors in production quantitys
you buy them direct from the manufacturer or one of their
authorised dealers.
