Nice one - never thought of that - i have tried Jewsons, travis perkins, keyline, and one or two others smaller ones. none of them have it,
Ideally want the bead type.

What you mean like this http://www.expamet.co.uk/15mm-movement-bead ? If so they aren't for facing bricks. My local indy merchants stocks them.
We used to use Flexcell fibre board, but like a lot of other things some clever person decided it was not flexible enough, although in my opinion it is plenty good enough.
The recommended product to use now is Hydrocell XL. It is difficult to get hold of and may have to be ordered.
You will also need Shear connectors with de-bonding sleeves. to tie joint together.
You must have a long length of wall to need expansion joints.
