I'm sure it would be good reading for someone (sad) like me and as
I've just finished reading the Maplin cat front to back (for the 4th
time g) I'm looking for something new and refreshing. Oh, the
"Semiconductor and accessories" section ..boy that *was* good though!

Can I recommend the CPC catalogue?
2830 odd pages of mostly good stuff!
www.cpc.co.uk

(Open a cash account (Free) and they will send you one)

WARNING.
You will almost certainly find yourself spending a small fortune!

First you will get up to the required £30+vat to get free delivery,
then it will just keep mounting up and up!
Trust me, that book is dangerous!

You forgot the "sorry it's not in stock" bit

I'm still waiting for some stuff I've got on back order from Dec 02! I
think they've forgotten.

It's the way that they expect you to pay for their mistakes which I'm
begining to loathe. Twice now they have sent me an incorrect part, but
before sending the correct one out they have insisted that I post the
other back at my own expense complete with their "returns number".

Grrr...

The weekly/fortnightly mailshots are worse than the catalogue, by the
way.

Hwyl!
