Quite nice out here in Antigua though ;)
 
Took OSG for a read when I was on holiday a few years ago. It has nice pictures on some of the pages....
And my Mrs calls me a sad Person (can't print the real word she used), some times I have to go into the Garage to see if my Tools are OK, go to the Orange for a fix, woo betide me if I spend anything though, must try and get the bank statement addressed to me, not me and Her, she'll still find out what ever, so I just go for a look, the worst thing is going to ELEX and coming home with something, Camera bloke says hide it in the boot, that's all good and well until She shoves the shopping bags in, on a Friday, me having forgotten to transfer the loot into the Garage.
 
I like to wander round CPC when I go for stuff... That's usually fun.
 
Id take a pic of my view... of my two computer screens, but there is a lot of business info on my desk and I don't want all the women in the forum flocking round when they find out where I work...
 
I did try and post a link to it but it just got removed... I'll try again.

You think your view is nice? What about mine then. I'm looking out of a window in a Premier Inn in Scunthorpe looking forward to a couple of hours work at the steel works tomorrow followed by a nice drive home to south Wales. I bet you're jelous now :)
 
We only have a B&Q and one small does everything shop but there’s only so many times you can wander round 4 aisles wish we had a CPC or something:( can’t even wander round maplin anymore

Do RS still do the paper copy of their catalogue?
That was something like 10,000 pages of electrical ----!
Bed time, "What are you looking at now?" "Nothing, dear"

I remember when the Maplin catalogue was like that. Data sheets on the components they sold. All those tools. Pity it became a toy shop :(

You should give any kit you buy to her as a present,it’ll give herself something else to complain about but you get to use it
 
@Pete......
register with them. the website is easy to navigate and drool . most of their business is internet based. free shipping if order over a certain value ( think £50). they send you "mini" catalogues out every 2-3-weeks. they are in Preston.no branches eleswhere.

1 a week mate.
They have recently made the place a bit bigger, so they can have more stuff on show.

@Pete999 .. These small catalogues usually have discount prices in them, if I'm not mistaken.
