Trying in vain to get it do do *anything*!
Many won't realise Farnell owns CPC, which was the main UK distributor
of QL spares.
Yes indeed - the site is overloaded.
I managed to get to the main product page. This URL will save one L O N
G step:
http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/bespoke/bespoke7.jsp?ICID=I-RASP-HPBLOF-0015&bespokepage=farnell/en_UK/promotions/raspberryPi.jsp
A purchase of over £45 has zero carriage charge, so look for something
else to buy (one more Pi?).
Amazingly the product page makes not mention of price.
Also only model B (the only one to buy!) is offered at the moment.
They have now shut down the site:

Their *real* number is 01772 654455 for those with mobiles (ie expensive
08 numbers). I never actually fully use my inclusive minutes, so
01/02/03 and UK mobile calls are 'free'.
Isn't it amazing that most large companies do not realise '08' numbers
are a massive disincentive to call, even the 'cheap' 0845.
http://saynoto0870.com is your friend of course.
