As the title suggest, im after a cheap run of the mill DVD player to watch both UK and N American DVDS on.

Re: Which DVD player and where from for UK DVDs
Does anyone make DVD players that aren't multi-region? OK joking, but not by much. The tech is so old now that they are basically commodity items. Probably be more expensive to make one that wasn't multi. I would think that googling "best multi-region DVD player 2020" would get you a pretty decent list.

Another option is to use a PC and MakeMKV to rip the DVDs to MKV files that can be played back on a computer, or on a modern TV from a USB stick. If you have a computer you bought in the UK, you won't even have to change the region of the computer's DVD drive (some drives require this).

Re: Which DVD player and where from for UK DVDs
Be aware though that blu-rays are another kettle of fish altogether. Regions on blu-ray players are much harder to hack and sometimes require some electronic wizardry. (Source - have a blu-ray player that requires some electronic wizardry to allow playing of non-region A/region-free blu-rays).
