Thanks for trying anyway.

one of those (not so young) young computer experts here.

Your computer is holding a corrupt or historic address.  Websites change their internal structure regularly and certainly Dapol has updated theirs lately.  It therefore sounds like a corrupt or out of date cache in your browser.

You need to delete your browser history, not cookies or anything else, as the browser to save effort uses stored last or old searches or web access to provide an address.

The issue can also be due to BT caching low demand files / pages
I have a similar issue with Virgin Media, have to phone them every few months to delete THEIR cache!

ISP caches can give the same problem, however I don't think Dapol is high enough up the demand curve to be treated this way....  Unless there are tens of millions of closest N Gauge modelers.  :D

Try using a different browser if it blocks as well its the ISP if it works its the browser cash.

I don't know/use Firefox, however there will be tab or table where you can see the browsing history.  Somewhere near there there will be a button offering to delete browser History.

NB I stick to IE and Chrome as they are the best supported for anti malware, but none are perfect.
