You may not need all the pins, GND and +3V3 are repeated several times.

I found individual jumper cables like these http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9385 a much better option.

In case you want something similar from Adafruit here you go http://www.adafruit.com/products/793

The problem with buying from Adafruit is the postage to the UK. For a breakout box which is $7.99 the recomended postage is $39.00 unless you want it quicker then it is $82.00.

May be if an number of us want to buy from them we should get together and share postage ?

We really could do with a UK supplier especially as the RPi is British !

Here's Adafruit's distributors page -- http://www.adafruit.com/distributors/ -- and if one enables all the *#%&! Javascript required by Google Maps, it turns out that we have 3 Adafruit distributors in the UK:

Oomlout, Halifax HX3 5QN (map says Leeds) -- http://oomlout.co.uk/
Phenoptix, Nottingham <no location revealed> -- http://www.phenoptix.com/
Proto-Pic, Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland, KY1 3PF -- http://proto-pic.co.uk/

I've not used any of them yet, but I'm likely to do so before long. Although Proto-Pic is the furthest away from me, their site shows stock levels which is important if one wants next-day delivery (I do).
