Hers a couple more sites that might be of use:

Lost an instruction manual look at http://www.instruction-manuals.co.uk/

Instruction Manuals UK user guides operating instructions owners handbooks.
Some can be downloaded free of charge form manufacturers or other web sites, or the site will put you in touch with someone who will photocopy their manual or where you can send off for a replacement manual the last to may require you to pay a fee. This is worth looking at if you require a manual thats not in a library. also check out

Thanks for the details. I've merged your post with Martin's free info hunt, as it deserves to be included there.

• saynoto0870.com for geographic numbers for businesses and organisations, so you can get the calls within a free call plan.
• Wikipedia for information and facts about every bleedin' thing in the world! It's true. Full of fantasticness
• Snopes - everyone should use this site to check out whether the 'vitally important - forward me to everyone you know' email you've just received is true or an urban legend, before sending it to, well, everyone you know
• www.bugmenot.com for usernames and passwords for loads of websites so you don't have to register to read articles etc.
• www.used-stamps.co.uk gives you information on charities and organisations internationally who collect your used stamps for fund-raising. (NB this one is my site)

There are so many fantastic sites here that I wanted to make sure I didn't miss any, so I have put them all into a spreadsheet with a brief description for each one (I have tried to stick with the originator's comments where possible).

I would love to upload the spreadsheet here, for everyone to use, but don't know how to do that - can anyone help me with that ? Moderators ??

Thanks,

Jeremy
