One idea I have:

Are you familiar with the typical "screaming" doormats that come out every halloween ?
Hmm.. you might not be, since you're in Scotland. Over here in the states, they're everywhere come October.
These are the ones with the med-small white box attached by wires, when someone steps on the mat, it triggers the chip in the box, which as a small amp and a small speaker.
Well, inside those mats is a single flexible disc, about 1" in diameter, with the wires directly soldered onto it. I've tested the disc switch by itself, that is, outside of the mat, and it works fine.
You can either cover it in heatshrink tubing to cushion it, or cut out some of the mat material itself around the switch, either way should give you a cheap usable toe switch.
If you seek a more professional item, I will PM you with a source.
Just hanging out with the rest of my fellow dregs.
