Re: Maplin stores
As Dave says above a lot of web-sites are poor. I see that CPC have had a revamp making things a simple as resistors difficult to find. I find the search function on Amazon next-to-useless and you'd really expect better from a purely internet company.
I remember the old Maplin's fondly but even then they were expensive on finished goods. When 5¼" floppies were easily available for a pound each, and you could get them for ten bob with a bit of effort, Maplin's were charging £30 for ten.
