Whats the easist way to buy shares??

As the header says.
I would like to buy about £100 of a certain share.
I enquired at the Woolwich who put me onto Barclays as they have a share dealing section.I was not able to just buy some shares,oh no I would have to set up an account and be furnished with membership number,passwords,account numbers etc.Halfway through all the form filling I lost the wiil to live and tore up all the forms.Is there anyway I can simply walk into or phone up or go online and buy shares easily?
I just want to say to someone,"Please sell me 100 shares in "Bodgit and Scarper Building Co. ,here is my debit card,thank you"Is this too much to ask or am I living in dreamland.
