ironing board clips/fasteners ... where?

I have trudged all over town trying to find ironing board cover clips (the elasticated clips that keep the cover in place). I have found one set on ebay, but I wondered if I could get them anywhere on the high street.

    a] Never heard of them
    b] Your High Street will be different to anybody else's.... and maybe you can't get them for 100 miles from your house... you've not said where you are.

    I should think you could get them from somewhere like John Lewis?

    Hilarious ... I'm assuming you have a condition which prevents you travelling in the UK ... EVERY high street has the same shops, its 2011 you know, not 1950

    Lakeland sell them. £3.29 for the pack but there is postage on top of that if you dont live near a shop.
