I am based in the UK and looking for a basal digital thermometer that
has a so-called "accu-beep" functionality, i.e. it beeps every 4
seconds to let you know that the thermometer is properly positioned in
your mouth. I am looking for an affordable thermometer (ca. 10 USD,
max. 10 british pounds) that measures the temperature in degrees
celcius (as opposed to fahrenheit).

The product that I am looking for is from BD, see
http://www.bd.com/thermometers/products/basal_basal.asp, but I could
not find a supplier where I can purchase it from in London -- either
in a store in London or online from a shop in Europe (ideally in the
UK; definitely not in the US, to keep delivery costs down) who would
deliver to the UK.

My question(s): 

a) Where can I purchase the BD product in UK (or in Europe and get it
delivered to the UK), either online or in a store in London?

b) If I cannot purchase it, which other thermometer available in
Europe could I use and where can I order it from (meeting the above
criteria)?
