I do have new sealed 10-boxes of Athana branded 5.25" DSDD floppy discs available, but they weren't from that website, they were from a UK supplier who sourced them for me when I was actually after 720K 3.5" discs which they couldn't get! But I fell foul of all the price things already mentioned, shipping, import duties, unit cost for buying a relatively small number, etc. so they do work out very expensive. And plus I anticipate there will be a new Floppy Disc Tax in the October budget, in addition to all the other new taxes I have already described today.
I am a very keen floppy disc user and supporter, all my Beeb development coding is done on floppy discs and always has been. I am a lot better at keeping backups now than once I was (by which I mean making an electronic image of the disc). Under no circumstances at this point am I going to say that I have been extremely lucky with the reliability of the floppy discs I have been using over the years.
