Some of my favorite odd uses are to push them into cupcake pans and bake them with a little zap of pam (think fake fried cups for like taco salads to whatever). Cut them up and bake or fry them for quick chips.
As for your cant be bothered things. Egg rolls would take all of but a few minutes. Hell I have done them before with cole slaw mix in the bag, pre cooked chicken, some asian bbq sauce (hoisin *spelling), some soy, some green onion, and some fresh ginger. mix well. Roll up and then spritz with pam cooking spray and bake them at 425 to 450 middle rack. Just takes a few min. All the flavor but not greasy or bad for you.

I have never seen won ton or egg roll rappers in the UK supermarkets ..though spring roll ones you can get. London has a huge China Town though and I have no doubt I can get them there if I just get off my bum and go into the city.
Coleslaw Mix is another thing I never see in the supermarkets here but if you have a food processor it really isn't hard to blitz your own in seconds.
The odd thing is, that I have clear memories of making potstickers as a teen all the time but haven't since then. I must have found the recipe somewhere and figured out how to do them from stuff my mom had because I remember my sister asking for them all the time (I was her cooking slave until I left home).
btw..with Asian cooking I find Savoy cabbage works well.
