RS - Radio Spares in the UK.  They're a reasonably sized company
selling parts aimed at business.  They do a pretty nifty couple
of hour delivery service too.
Radio shack is called Tandy over here.  Tandy, sell pretty much
the same stock as RS in the US, but the prices are the same
dollar for pound.  What costs you $5 in the states, costs us






         5 pounds in the UK (not a very good exchange rate you could say).

         So, what would be expensive normally, is more expensive in Tandys.
