Gilmours or Bidvest and the like would be my suggestion.

Don't you need to be a business to shop at Gilmours ?

The website doesn't say one way or the other, but I *think* my brother has been in there a few times for one-off purchases without any issues.

Stand by caller. Asking someone who should know this stuff.

I have a Gilmours account. I just made up a fake 'sole-trader' business name.

Had no issues

Moore Wilsons will have them for sure!

I have seen the occasional supermarket carry them, but usually in areas that get a lot of trampers/day walkers, and they are usually quite expensive comparatively.

Bidvest/Gilmours both sell them, I have accounts with both so not sure how they would do a cash sale.

Give them a ring, if you don't have any luck, PM me and I'll sort something out for you.

How about you just ask your boss to splurge on a block of butter in the fridge, then you wouldn't need to take your own.

Thanks for all your ideas and offers, I will have a chat with Gill.

There probably is butter in the fridge at work, but i work in a very large office and would rather my own tubs to be honest :)
