UK Searches

prospero

the ancient geek
The Internet and especially Google is really getting me angry.
I try to look for information about British area codes, user manuals for equipment or whatever and I find the first few pages from organisations who are trying to sell me something rather than answering my question. Google obviously needs to make a profit but is it time for a "new" opensource wen searcher?

The first three or four on the page are "shaded a bit" for your eye to go to them. Just do as I do and skip them and you will be OK.
