Too bad, i don't know any UK supplier but usually Microchip Direct is pretty fast. 2-3 business days here.
Why you don't like ICSP? it's handy no? OR you can still build some ICSP to DIP adapters?... easy, hack your Olimex sockets 
kinda learning opportunities
EDIT:
Yeah... I downloaded the manual with the shematic at the back... and the firmware is avaialble... For a moment of insanity I thought I would look at making one... there's just one problem... I can't program the PIC !! - sorta chicken and egg thing
Yeah that's what i thought too... i have the bootloader .HEX file too but...

There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
