Weather station hardware vendors in the UK/Ireland

Does anybody have any suggestions for vendors of inexpensive weather station hardware (that is compatible with Cumulus) that can ship to the UK? I am in the US and going to donate a weather station to my kids' school in Northern Ireland and I don't know whether I'd be better off buying something in the US and taking it over there with me or buying one from a source in the UK or Ireland.

I have an Ambient Weather WS-2080 in the US and I'm happy with it so that is what I would buy if I was going to take it over there with me. I would be looking for something in a similar price range over there (around 70 pounds/euro).

It didn't even occur to me to check Amazon.co.uk. Thanks for the reminder -- they have several stations that should fit the bill.
