    I don't believe it...

    I just bought some ICs from RS Components.

    And what do you know?


    They were made in the UK.

    I don't believe it!

    All the others were made variously in Malaysia, China, and the Chech Republic.

    Did they cost more than the others?

      If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

            Yup.

            19p more expensive than one lot & 6p more expensive than the other lot.

            Damn right, British IC's for British electronic equipment.
