No reference to quality sites would be complete without a mention of the next site - www.tourbus.com

This site has something for everyone. Not this week maybe, nor next week, but over time, a wide variety of subjects are dealt with. The best use of this site is made by subscribing to the weekly newsletter.

And now, a search facility which you can speak to, easily - www.askjeeves.co.uk

Plenty of search engines and directories out there. It's a bit of a minefield. This search facility stands apart from the rest, since you can input your query, just as you would say it. e.g. "Where can I get a new ribbon for my clapped out Panasonic printer?". Submit the question and you will receive back information on various sites to go to. Some get right to the point, others a bit obscure. Whether this suits your purposes, is for you to decide. I found the site very helpful, on many occasions. Also available ".com", which covers a wider spectrum.

If buying on the Web is a new experience, this site is one of the best -  www.amazon.co.uk

How about this one for Scottish "surfers" - www.ancestralscotland.com

Be warned. This site will damage your wallet via your phone bill. I visited this site and was totally absorbed for about 1 hour. You will not be able to resist the charm of this site. It is immaterial which direction you wish to go from the choices at this site, but I guarantee you will be hooked and will return for another "peek" ----- forget the phone bill....

If you would like to access the news on-line, try here - www.fish4news.co.uk

This of course is another news site. But with a difference. You can certainly get national news and other various bits and pieces, but enter your postcode, and you can browse the local news. Quite an interesting site, once you get the hang of it.
