Maplin Electronics is one of many, many branches in London and they have a uniform policy of cheap electronics — and perhaps cheap electronics aren’t always the best. You want reliability, safety and efficiency first and buying lower range stuff might not satsify these criteria. but never mind. You will of course find alot of the regular, valuable stuff like any other shop but there is alot of cheap, strangely branded goods to buy here as well, and you might be tempted via a matter of cost — but do not be fooled! Reliability first kids.
