Seriously Solutions - Experience the power of shopping (www.seriouslysolutions.com)
I was prompted to remember this shop in Bedford by an article posted about a fake toy shop in Ayr. Some research turned up that it had a website, which I’ve linked to. The “real” shop had all the website products on display. It was created by (the legend) Tim Hunkin....

An incident of local TV broadcast piracy in 1987, during an episode of Dr. Who. The pirate was never identified, though it’s been occasionally speculated that it may have been the same artist behind the Shaye Saint John character-- which is a wild ride in itself.

AOL proggies and punters - A neglected part of internet history (plozee.com)
Having trouble sleeping? (web.archive.org)
I post about the original Direct Debit website from time to time and get the impression nobody cares. So I thought I'd try you lot! It's the most surreal "corporate" website I've ever seen, a product from the early web when the website was just run by the work experience kid and nobody in management actually understood what it...
