When I try and connect to screwfix.com from my home LAN (same on
laptop and desktop machines) I get "You don't have permission to access / on this
server."

It's something to do with it not liking *me* (well my IP presumably)
because I can connect using lynx from a system outside my LAN.

I can connect to screfix.eu and other sites such as search engines,
etc.

Any ideas what might be wrong? ... and is it temporary?
