    The Shop Direct Group.

    They include, Littlewoods, Marshall Ward, Great universal, Kays among others and i think Studio (not sure).

    They're supposed to be fairly easy to get, but Littlewoods and GU have both told me to 'get lost' :rolleyes:.

    Edit: JD Williams is another catalogue account that should be quite easy to open.

    Good luck :beer:
