What a splendid shop, I do remember old Mrs Gee saying INxxxx (eye en) rather than 1Nxxxx (one en). Must be 30 odd years ago since I visited. My house was less than a hundred yards away, I could just pop in for a resistor by asking, for example, a 1/4W 10K one, a swift 360 degree turn round by a member of staff (the family) and it was there.
I always found it appropriate that I could get high-speed mercury relays from H.Gee's.... They had a truely amazing range of components.

Getting back on-topic, are there any Maplin shops still open? Orpington has closed (passed it today).
