Default IN UK - does anyone sell old style solder anymore ?

I am just coming to the end of my old 60:40 tin/lead fluxed solder
and after a quick look it seems that
old style solder is not easy to find - if at all.

I did read something about this months / years ago, saying it is not
as easy to use, but forgot to stock up at the time

Can anyone bring me up to date with the new stuff, suitable fluxes
or whether the old stuff is actually available.

I don't use much, generally for small PCB repairs and every
soldering, so a 500 gram would last me ages

=============================
60/40 solder is no longer officially sold in the UK but may still be
available at rallys.
Last month when in the Netherlands I bought 1kg of the stuff with 1mm
diameter from Baco Army Goods BV- NL1976BM IJmuiden for Euro 21
(roughly GBP 14)
The shop is near the harbour not far from where the ferry from/to
Newcastle has its berth.
