I think someone at Maplin realised many of their customers only go there when they need something immediately, or would struggle to get it anywhere else :lol:

Honestly, there are times I wouldn't leave the house but have to because I need something.

But for some people, it may be the only chance they get for fresh air and exercise!

Walking well over 20 miles every week and my utter hatred of the idiots who congregate in and around shops ensures I get most things delivered! :lol:

I had to go to Maplins earlier this week. I needed a 2p DIL socket, and although I knew I had some already I simply couldn't find them. I think it was 40p in the shop.

I came home and instantly found my stash exactly where they were supposed to be, so that was £2 worth of dinasor fosil and an hour of my life wasted...

Friendly and helpful as always, but crazy thing is they just didn't have any stock. I was going to buy a couple of them, but they only had one left. Same for the 4001 I bought "just in case" - it was the last one in the store. They didn't have any of the crystals I wanted either.

My prefered suplier would have been a fraction the cost and have everything in stock, but they don't deliver in 90 minutes...
