Thinking of using them again............

I want some "Autan" insect repellent, I know it works for me, so keying in Autan in the Boots website (after it Googled up as an Autan stockist) left with me over 71 "matches", 6 pages of products to look at and buy. :smile: After looking at 48 it dawned on me that it was taking the piss and unfortunately none of them where made by Autan. :cursing:

What a bag of bollox, reminds me of last week when I wanted to have a door dipped and stripped and the website for "Bradford" dippers and strippers took me to a one man band in Wiltshire. :wacko: There are so many middlemen promising first page Google ranking that the only solution, for normal people, is to go back to using the using the Yellow Pages.

I put mine straight in the recycling bin when it arrives.

Some websites have terrible search engines though - I think WH Smith is one where I've given up trying to find something obvious when presented with pages of unrelated things.

You were lucky that's all you got - my brother-in-law is car mad, but when he searched for escorts in his local area, he got a lot more than that....

If you're an MG enthusiast be warned, the website "X Rated Midgets" contains no useful tuning tips whatsoever.

Can't be recycled though, due to both the yellow dye used on the pages & the fact its already been partially recycled.
Well that's rubbish then! There's no good reason for it to be yellow if that causes a problem.

I'd much rather they didn't give me one & I'm sure loads of people are the same.
