I've done this tons of times before but the link I'm trying to put into : A13068056
Doesn't link to the right page, yet, when I click on the very same link (albeit with the & symbole in it rahter than changing it to the AMP as I've done in the entry), it does take me to the right page 
I'm probably missing something relaly obvious

You shouldn't be replacing & by AMP. The correct substitution is & (including the ampersand at the start and the semicolon at the end).

Still seems to be behaving oddly perhaps hte ink itself is rong, but was a direct copy and paste of a link which did work... Would it make a differnce that the link doesn't have a .www after hte HTTP, rahter a http.uk....

Removing the stray bracket character, ie '(', from just before the ampersand makes a difference for me.
