    I freeze my bones from sunday roasts and use them to make a stock and if I have a chicken, I strip it and use the carcass for chicken stock.

    The butcher at our local Morrisons sometimes has bones.

    Otherwise, you'll need to travel to a butcher's shop - search the web - eg. http://www.fieldandflower.co.uk/buy/beef-stock-bones-1kg_211.htm.

    If you want to make broth for its nutrition, raw bones are best.

    You could just buy your meat on the bone and then bone it out yourself.

    Chicken not a problem. Plenty of supermarket beef joints have bones. Most Lamb joints do.

    Don't really understand the problem.

    not really a problem, I guess I am used to supermarket where they just sell a mix of bones pack for stock/broth.

    Nothing that couple of chicken drumstick can't solve!
