Most good hardware stores stock socket head cap screws in inch and metric.

Crappy Tire has a surprisingly decent selection of metric SHCS (in Vancouver anyway). Do your seat post bolts keep falling out?

Sounds a bit like England. When I was last there a few years ago there was a BBC report of a grocery store owner who was fined for selling produce by the pound but all of the road signs still gave distances in miles and gas (petrol) stations listed their prices in gallons as well as liters. Mixed messages.

Fastenal can be a good source depending on what they actually have in stock although I have had questionable dealings when they are out of a particular size.
Sometimes there are empty trays instead of the bolts or screws you may need and I have asked them to re-stock them. They then try to charge me for shipping and delivery.

Kinda puts ya in mind of what has become the standard threading on various bicycle parts. SAE threading on one part, metric on another.
