Piggins on the Internet

next

A little clicking on this page will inevitably reveal dead links. There has not been any major revision since 2003. My aim was to do to a thorough update every two or three years. References to newspaper and magazine articles will gradually be dropped, since these disappear quite quickly from the internet.

If you find your own name in the list below, and have any objection to being mentioned in this way, please send an E-mail to the address on contact page.
