Dead Link Bucket

Sadly, web sites come and go. The one you just tried to reference is one of those that has gone. Editing all the pages on this site that reference a supplier who has disappeared is too painful to contemplate. Towards the end of every month, I do internal and external link checks. Internal ones are my fault and can be fixed. Any link that references a supplier site that appears broken is rechecked for a few days. If it truly appears dead, the supplier entry is removed from the list and an entry made here so at least you know what is going on.
