Conrad (www.conrad.de) were very good indeed (and way better than Maplin)
when I lived in Germany. Perhaps they might ride to the rescue of the
nerds among us?




They have had a UK website for sometime.

Quite a large range of items.
Used them for some specialised electronics to semi automate operation a
garden railway.
The German market seems to be the main source of such things and
manufacturers,Conrads prices were competitive at the time with the same
items imported by an appointed U.K. agent or from a German shop.
Most likely whoever I ordered from the items were despatched from the same
warehouse.

They quote 3 or 4 days for delivery which may be too slow for some people
but they do have some interesting items listed.
