Default UK quilters - where do you buy fabric?

I live in Germany and fabric is super expensive over here. I pay for one meter patchwork fabric €18 (~$22). I've already had a look into US online shops and even including shipping the price per meter or yard is about half the price I pay over here. But I haven't ordered yet and have no idea how much I have to pay on import tax on top of everything. I was wondering - maybe it's cheaper to order from the UK as well (especially because of the non-existing import tax when I order from the UK).

Calling all quilters who live in the UK - where do you buy your fabric? I'm especially looking for online-shops. And what is the average price you pay for 1 meter (or 1 yard) of fabric?

Also I will be visiting Aberdeen (Scotland) in October. So if anyone knew of any quilting/ fabric shops in Aberdeen, that would be awesome as well.
