Re: The web site was awesome.
God the website is bad. I wanted to order some components to make a little circuit I'd got the specs for, went to the Maplins website and shockingly they still do components and you can click and collect. Except each time I selected something I had to select my local store. Because obviously I might want to collect the transistors from one store and the capacitors from another. I got half way through the list, lost patience with the whole thing and ordered from bitsbox.co.uk, didn't get the parts that day but it was so much less hassle and cheaper. Sooo much cheaper.
