Maplins

[andytaylor]

I've used Maplin for years, don't usually have a problem, but then I normally know what I'm after and don't buy the plastic crap.

For batteries, chargers and cables they are pretty good - and cheap.

Ok obviously Maplin don't do ear bandages for Trumpton, but if you are in the flow of looking for electrical gear you could do a lot worse than visiting your local maplin and the online equivalent they usually have some nice bargains in Sat. Gear, Air Conditioners etc. so worth a look if you have one near you - look at the product physically instore and then you can usually get some discount vouchers online as well ...

Argos any good for Wall Clocks for the kitchen?

A wall clock for a kitchen? Get to ASDA for that kind of tat Stevie, or an outdoor market. Argos will have choice, but at a few quid.

I bought my ear bandages from a shop called Eureka - I kid you not.

Yup. I bought a battery powered wall clock from them, and it's good. !thumbsup!

Must admit I regard Argos as even worse than Maplins - their 16 day refund policy is great, except for the fact too many chavs buy stuff, use it for a couple of weeks and then take it back. I can't count the number of things I've had from them over the years that somebody had obviously used and repackaged badly --- of course they all went back. Now I only buy cheap rubbish there, wouldn't trust them on a major item.
