The NSRA shop had them in stock so I duly went through the process of shoving them into my online basket then proceeding to the checkout.
I'd put my details in as normal then noticed the following statement at the bottom of the page (which appeared to be a mandatory requirement if I wanted to continue with the transaction).
* BY CONTINUING, I AGREE THAT MY INFORMATION WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE UNITED STATES*
Now .... a simple question! WTF is THAT all about?
Since WHEN did the UK NSRA become an information collecting agency for the US Government?
I'm not so daft to think that in this post-Snowden era, the Feds don't already have more than enough information about me as it is but for the UK NSRA to be doing this so blatently is for me ..... a damn cheek and totally out of order!

Needless to say, I'll be buying my patches elsewhere.
