** YOUR SESSION HAS TIMED OUT **

Shopping sites need to maintain a unique connection between your computer and the Internet Server where the shopping site is hosted. This unique connection called a "session" consumes valuable resources. When the Server believes the connection has been dropped by your computer or not established for some period of time it "times out the session" freeing up resources for other users of the shopping site. This may happen for one of three reasons.

  1. You were using a Dial on Demand connection to the internet which was dropped either by your computer or your service provider forcing you to dial in again via your phone or network to reconnect to the internet.
  2. There has been a sustained period of inactivity between yourself and this Server, in which case the Server has deemed you to be disconnected and timed out your session freeing up resources for other users.
  3. You have tried to access the shopping pages either via bookmarks or using the history - back buttons on your browser. Pages cached in bookmarks or history don't have a session therefore the Server cannot remember who you are.

This site uses non-persistent cookies to maintain a session between you and the shopping facility. non-persistent cookies remember what you have in your shopping basket and do not write data to your computer's hard drive, they are "non-invasive" and only reside in your computers memory whilst you are connected to the shopping site.

NB: Persistent Cookies write small data files to your computers hard drive and are NOT used on this site.
