Re: Maplin stores
I think Scotland's lost all its component shops now, though there is an RS trade counter in Glasgow.
Even the last amateur radio shop got taken over a few years ago and was axed about a year ago. I suppose the main amateur radio event was the SARCON rally at Braehead a few weeks ago. There wasn't a single stand representing any of the big-3 brands. People are disinclined to lay out that sort of money based on only an advert in Radcom and a website.
THe end of an era.
