Just because I have
listed a website here does not mean I endorse the owner of that site, the
site or its goods and services. Should I have genuine reason to remove a link
I will do so. These sites are in no
particular order beyond the headings, so please don't take offence. Equally, this isn't an exhaustive list of sites I have visited or used nor the only ones I like, so, again, if your site isn't there please don't take offence. Why not drop me a line I may include you in my next update. |
