There must be one heck of a markup in the UK, then.  Here in the US,
you can buy a single 36-macrocell Xilinx XC9536XL for US$1.62, and
a single 72-macrocell XC9572XL for US$3.09.  Maybe you should order
from Digikey and pay the international shipping rather than buying
locally.

These are easily programmed using zero-cost development software you
can download from the Xilinx web site, and a simple parallel port
cable you can build yourself easily.
