Not sure if this has been posted yet (can't be bothered to do a search) but Duckhams has stopped producing their 20w-50 mineral oil.
 
Apart from being 20/50 I thought duckhams was the wrong "S" spec for GS's.

Isn't it only an SD spec ?

BMW minimum SF spec.

i'm pretty sure duckhams Q 20w50 was SF. as OP says, it's unavailable now and has been for some time.

edit: i checked. it was SF, and this place still has some. interestingly they say they only have limited stocks and suggest an alternative that is SE :blast

Wilco are good people, very helpful and responsive. They used to sell four x 4.5L packs of Duckhams Q 20/50 for around £40-£50 delivered if I recall. Maybe the price has gone up to refect the fact it's no longer manufactured. They also do a 5L EP for the gearbox for around £15.

I know I'm going to regret contributing to an oil thread.:blast

not too long ago, i used to buy that stuff in packs of four from the local motorist discount shop, usually £8.99 per can, reduced to £7.99. should have bought a lot more. i've run out now :(

the price of oil has gone through the roof lately :eek
