Places like B&Q and Homebase have this sort of stuff nowadays too, though
I should think your chances of obtaining meaningful and accurate
technical information from any shop would be pretty slim.

You might try a computer fair if there is one within range of you, as
there is usually somebody selling AV stuff, and the vendors generally
know more about it than shop assistants.

I've got a cheap �10 Argos adaptor here.

Not the most fancy device in the world, but I have DVD Player/PVR/PS2
plugged in, all using RGB, and all do widescreen switching.

The only slight problem is the cable from the adaptor to the TV is rather on
the short side, and doesn't make it from the back of my Sony Wega to the
front.

Beware the very cheap ones, they tend to just have all the signals
shorted together and are useless. Manually-switched ones probably
won't be too bad, but are obviously a bit of a pain to use. Automatic
ones are expensive, but getting cheaper.

This automatic one from Maplin seems pretty cheap to me at 40 quid :-
