Plain internal doors - but grained - where?

I need to replace two internal doors, and want them to match others in the house that are panelled and with a grain to them. They will be painted white. Does anyone know where I can get doors that aren't panelled, but do have a grain and are suitable for painting? I've tried the usual DIY places to no avail.

Thanks

(there is a reason why I can't just get panelled doors, but it's too long and boring to go into!!!)

    Builders merchants such as Travis Perkins, Graham, Jewson, etc. Have a look in your Yellow Pages.

    Tip: Borrow a tee-shirt with a company logo on, put some dirty shoes on, stick a pencil behind your ear, and clip a tape measure to your front jeans pocket.

    This way you'll "look" more like trade so that you can ask for your discount more convincingly(sp?). I'm not joking, a couple of years ago I waited in a queue behind a lady who was buying exactly the same set of solid brass door furniture as I was. She paid £24 and I paid £14. After she'd gone I asked why she'd paid more. "She's not trade. Look at her clothes, she can afford it!" was the reply.
