Are you quite sure they're not listed on Yahoo Europe? Mine are. The 
"symbol" you need to enter (in the Security Editor) is in the format
 GB0123456789GBP
and I found mine by searching on uk.finance.yahoo.com (put the name in 
the search box and hit enter, and when it complains select "funds" in the 
dropdown).
