Don't turn into Tandy MkII

That might suit you or I. Are there enough similar punters out there to
make it pay?

(and even you or I might go online if it's easier than driving into town
and finding parking)

Interestingly, in Guildford, Carphone warehouse moved premises and
Maplins is now where Tandy used to be.

I assume Basic Electronics isn't still around? That was always a far
better option than Tandy, who operated a B&Q approach to components (five
resistors in a blister pack for 1.99).

Sadly, Basic had to move out when the cinema was pulled down. They found
new premises, but so far off the beaten track that there was no passing
trade. So, yes, they've gone.
