Difford's Guide
is made possible by
Difford's Guide is the result of my life's work (well at least the last 25 years of it) and it has become the life of my family and our extended family of colleagues, partners and contributors. Keeping this website and my dream alive is made possible thanks to the patronage of the following brands, all of which I endorse and have dispassionately reviewed on this very site.
My profound thanks to the following for making my dream possible and allowing Difford's Guide to remain free to use with only minimal advertising.
