Re: Ironic, isn't it?
"The problem is that the only things I ever need from Maplin are small items that I suddenly realise I need"
I found that the things I suddenly needed from Maplin would often appear in the on-line search as being in stock, and then would mysteriously not be in the shop when I got there, even though the shop assistants could still find them on the computer.
My closest Maplin was a short walk from home, so if there were in my hand in 30 minutes and I could get on with a project, I didn't really mind if they were a little bit more expensive than waiting for a delivery.
