maybe I am confused. Not for the first time.
Yes, I mean RS Componants which I thought started as Radio Shack in Croydon in the early 1970's. As a teenager I used to drive them mad by calling in after school to buy one resistor and one capacitor etc for a total bill of about 25p, to try and make a radio that would fit in a matchbox. It never worked, partly because I kept breaking the wires off the componants, or melting them into charcoal with my soldering "skill", and after a few years I gave up.
It must be all those solder lead-fumes that I sniffed that has done my memory in....
