I don't live in the UK (though me and the missus will be there on vacation for a couple months this summer...can't wait), however living in Canada and not in one of the 7 big cities either, getting Joes is damn near impossible without E-Bay, online retailers and of course the best resourse, fellow Joe collectors.
The absolute best way to get your hands on Joes as an international collector is to find a kind US collector who is willing to hook you up with what you need. Something easy like PayPal for money transfers usually works best though there are a LOT of options. The main benfits to this are several : 1. Fellow collectors know what you're talking about, they can look for the details important to other collectors. 2. They can amass a few items and ship them in one go to really cut shipping costs. 3. Most are absolutely terrific people and won't hose you on buying stuff for you. So instead of paying $18 for Low Light online, they can actually find him for $7 on store shelves for you. I've found that even though we fight like Pitbulls about every little detail regarding this hobby, when it comes down to actually being in it, we are very supportive of each other. That's about the best advice I can give you. Welcome to the Tank and the hobby in general. PoC is just the start, 30th is going to be even better. Great time to get into this.
