If you add something like http://www.screwfix.com/prods/17359 to your
browser favourites you can visit that link then paste in the desired
item code to get the new short link.

If you use Firefox, you can go one better. Edit the bookmark, change
Location to http://www.screwfix.com/prods/%s and set Keyword to
something like "sf".

Now you can just type "sf 17359" into the address bar, and it will take
you directly to http://www.screwfix.com/prods/17359

In Opera, click and hold at the end of the prod number, drag the cursor to
the left to select the truncated url, release, R-click - copy.
Although the entire url is selected as soon as you click on the address,
dragging selects only the part dragged across - no need to release the
button and click again.
