Default www.theblobshop.co.uk

On leafing through the new Hooked magazine from anglian water which dropped through my letterbox today, I noticed an advert on page 43 for the above, a shop selling blobs. Best quality, best patterns and best prices it said. Being the purist I am, i thought I'd have a peruse of their site. After initially miss spelling the address and getting the shock of my life (I've only just stopped blushing!) I entered the correct address only to get a web domain service. Has anyone heard of this blob shop before? Does it exist?

Computer says no!

Plenty of business with the same name listed under Google but all resturants/pubs - nothing fishy!

Not sure if this should be under Trade Classifieds.........

or maybe Admin should start a new section ........... for miss-leading web addresses or Traders who no longer trade?

Hi Guys,
sorry for the confusion arising from you not being able to access the blob shop web site.
we are having a few problems with the techies, but are assured they will be resolved soon, they are working on it as we speak.
To allay your fears, we do exist, we will deliver quality at the correct price and once you are able to access and buy, you will be very pleased with the quality we are offering.
There is an error in the advert in "Hooked Magazine", which gave the incorrect email address. The correct address is theblobshop@hotmail.co.uk
If you have any other queries, both that and the phone number 07762 901 334 is in use, please feel free to drop us a line.
regards
John (the blob shop)

Just to keep you informed on the latest situation with the Derbyshire
advertiser ‘The Blob Shop’ that appears in the latest Hooked on
Leisure magazine. I have contacted the advertiser and am informed
that the site is built and live. However, there are some technical
issues with the DNS pointing that they hope to resolve very shortly.
So please be patient and I will keep you up to date as to the
current status. I have been offered access to the site and can say that you will
not be disappointed with the variety and competitive prices that the
advertiser is offering.
I must point out however that the advertiser posted an incorrect email address.
Email should read theblobshop@hotmail.co.uk

Smile www.theblobshop.co.uk update

I have been assured that this site is now live and up and running. I have logged onto it myself just to be sure. Since it is a new site it will not appear in the search engine listings just yet. You will need to enter the site name in your browser if you wish to visit the site.
