Yes, but fluxed solder.
Something like N34BJ from Maplins.

B&Q still have real solder, it is still legal to sell it for electronic repair ----- in B7Q all the solder is kept in the plumbing section

Good - all the stuff in Maplins et al is Pb free and is a right b@stard to get it to flow properly.
Is the B&Q stuff flux cored though? as it's for plumbing.

Best. Solder. Ever. (least, it's really high quality and lead based)

It is cored electronic repair solder --- B&Q just consider all solder and soldering irons are part of plumbing department.
