What a crap shop bought 3 times in there had to take them back 1st Batteries for the remote,CD cleaner disc and Light Bulbs.

And their holiday camps are dreadful and not in the least bit funny.

Always found the staff to be unhelpful smarmy gits - think it's a company policy to only hire unhelpful smarmy gits

Steve,
I don't know which branch you use, but i think you must be unlucky.
I often use my local shop to buy bits for my computer and find the staff very helpful

I once bought an Electric Fly Killer from Maplins, the type with a blue light and electric shock. In the 3 years I had it it never killed one fly - they used to fly in, walk about and come back out. It did manage to kill a couple of moths, but on the whole was totally useless and didn't do what it was sold for. Also had a PC card adapter which worked ok, apart from the fact you couldn't get the card back out once it was inserted - great! Now I never think of going there.

The only Maplins I've heard of is from the old BBC TV sitcom Hi-De-Hi. !happy!

Same here, must be a 'London' thing

Dreadful firm.

There was a record from USA rockers Blood Sweat And Tears called Hi De Hi.

Who recalls Tandys?
