The Pirate King's favourite chandlers


The Lyndene Guest House


This is where I spent a very happy summer while following post-graduate studies at Bournemouth Polytechnic.

Situated 3 minutes' walk from Bournemouth Travel Interchange (a.k.a. "BR Bournemouth") this is a quiet and comfortable haven for bone-weary buccaneers.

As well as the odd (very!) mature student normal guests are most welcome.

Contact Jan Wright on 01202 558358 (+44 1202 558 358).

IFEL


This is an Acorn computer supplier par excellence.

Every single processor or memory upgrade I have ever bought from here has been fuss-free, 100% reliable, inexpensive, and in my hands usually before the doubloons had cleared out of my coffers!

Add to that the helpful telephone support and you have a winning company.

Contact IFEL on 01752 777106 (+44 1752 77 71 06).

CMOT Dibbler


The world's funniest mouse mat has to be from this fine purveyor of fantasabilia from Terry Pratchett's Discworld™.

Contact Stephen Briggs at compulink or by mail at PO Box 655, Oxford, Oxon, OX3 - 0PD.

Frasers Electronic Supplies


This is a small but perfectly formed emporium of all components electronic.

I was surprised to find, here, almost every computer lead I could ever need - and a few I never will (for the PC - YUK!).

Frasers is on Elm Grove, Southsea, Portsmouth, Hants.

Rock's Country Wines


Pirate sherry isn't really my favourite tincture. The wines from here are far more to my liking.

These are not made from grapes - instead they are traditional English hedgerow wines. Blackberry, Gooseberry, Elderflower, Strawberry, Plum, Ferret, and a few others that escape me.

The free tasting is a necessity!

Rock's are located on the A4 4 miles west of Reading, Berkshire (close to Twyford).

SyQuest


After 22 months of reliable use my EZ135 drive ate a cartridge and had to be returned to Syquest. It was posted back on a Saturday morning and a replacement drive was delivered on the following Tuesday morning.

All that and I discovered that there was a 2 year warranty too.

Good service or what?
