Tandy Corporation History


In brief apparently it was a leather goods store that bought Radioshack in the'60s. It then dropped the leather goods, which went on to trade independently under the Tandy name, whilst Tandy Electronics rebranded as Radioshack.


In the UK it traded under a subsidiary called 'InterTan' under the Tandy name, which went independent and then was sold to Carphone Warehouse. A company called T2 (presumably Tandy 2) operated some of the stores in Radioshack stylee.


There's no reason given for why they didn't trade under the Radioshack name in the UK. Unconfirmed rumours claim the name was already owned by a small local trader who was trying to extort them for the use of the name. Could be a load of old bollocks though.

Nope. Not me. A "Sherlock Holmes" pipe, or a bent apple pipe as it should be known, is a little outr? for me. I'm more of a striaght billiard pipe sort of man. With a nice Danish Black Vanilla.

Just outside the magnificent Botanic Gardens on Great Western Road, there is a lovely guy who sells coffee from one of those police phone boxes.


It's called Cop-a-cino :))

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
