Default Tomato Trellis Clips

Here in Essex, we get lots of sunshine, but our plot is exposed to
wind, so tomato support needs to be secure. Having struggled with
biodegradable twine for a year or two, I'm considering a slight change
of strategy for this year's crop. I have a nice solid support frame,
and plan to string this with something durable, e.g. fishing line of a
suitable breaking strain (other suggestions welcome). I'd also like
to try out tomato trellis clips if I can find any, as I grow a fair
number of plants, and string ties take a lot of time. I'm aware that
Johnny's Seeds sell these in the U.S. (www.johnnyseeds.com/p-6245-
tomato-trellis-clips-100-count.aspx), but they won't ship to the UK,
and I can't find anyone who sells them here. Can anyone tell me where
I might find them? Thanks!
