OTOH, if you're the sort of person who knows when he wants a 20 ohm 
resistor you probably won't need any help locating it in Maplin.

It's nice being able to buy that sort of stuff in a high street shop 
though. Sometimes you don't want a brand new 20 quid scart lead, just 
the connector at one end because you bent the pin or whatever.
