Managed to snap a driveside flat, straight-pull spoke on the rear wheel of the Mavic Ksyrium
wheelset on my 'best' bike.
Localish bike shop, that is an official Mavic stockist has nothing in stock,
and wants £15.99 for a pack of ten.
If that's what it is going to cost, I would sooner that amount went to someone on the forum.
Anybody West-ish can help me?

Sounds fair. You can buy them online in singles for £2-£5 each, depending on which of the many versions of the Ksyrium you have. They are mostly proprietary designs, so a generic straight pull DT or Sapim is unlikely to work, and won't be any cheaper anyway

Yep,
I'm not baulking at the price,
it's just the cost of ownership.
Hoping to pay someone on the forum the £16.
