I bought a socket set and spanner set, both from Halfords years ago, (about 1999), and haven't broken anything yet!
I'd definately suggest buying something similar, it's well worth having all the correct sized imperial tools.
I've also got the correct square brake adjuster spanner, ball joint socket, (and original BMC ball joint spanner).

you can get away with some metric spanners if you are stuck,
19 and 3/4 are vertually identical,
17 and 11/16 are close
13 and 1/2 can be got away with if you are carefull
iirc 11 and 7/16 are just a bit too diferent.
