Paul,

Why not use RS? They may not be the cheapest, but they have a vast stock
list, plus it is totally searchable on the web, and if you open a
"trade
account" they'll either send you a set of books the size of a
telephone
directory, or the same thing on CD. Trade customers get free shipping
via Securicor too - or you can pick the stuff up at one of their
countrywide trade counters.

The sort of things you are buying only cost a few pennies anyway.

OK, I can manage that,

but how does that then help me to locate parts? - will they send me a
chunky=20
printed catalogue?
