Found: half-pint jars in the UK!

As a noob PF Tekker in the UK, I was having the same problem everyone seems to have finding half-pint jars. Bonne Maman jam jars seem to be a good alternative, but I managed to track down what appear to be the perfect jars!
Found these at Barnitts. £12.99 for a box of 12. Other jars they sell here.
Hopefully these are the right ones. Will let you know if I have any screw-ups with my cakes

They're based in York. Next-day DHL to London was £7, so £20 for a dozen, or £1.65 each. Cheaper than Bonne Maman jars, and apparently a better size.
Got a few sitting in the cupboard now

Great find et al, but if you head to Tesco, their premium conserve (which comes in about 4 different flavors) costs I think £1.45 per jar. The benefit of this is, you get to keep the jam too!
Or, if you head to Tesco this week, you'll find all the Bonne Maman jams for 2 for £3.00 on offer. Thats just £1.50 per jar.
Saves on the postage, and again, you get the jam too!
Otherwise, great find.

Yeah ive been recomending those jars for a while, i found them last year at tesco. my mate has 3 of them at the moment and they colinise fine. There bigger than half pint, probably 400ml but there as wide as they are tall so it shouldnt cause problems.
