Maplin took over where Tandy left off on the high street like Wilco have done after Woolworths gave in.
I am getting the feeling that the management just gets past its "use by" date falling away from what the customer wants and towards what funders in far flung places want.
I am getting the feeling one of the big supermarkets could go in the next few years.
There has been a lot of tension in the supply chain. People might have thought that the "Marmite war" was funny but it has been going on with other suppliers on a smaller scale for a long time.
