Well it would be deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main ...
except gb.archive.ubuntu.com is just an alias to archive.ubuntu.com :p

But, I did go and try the ie.archive.ubuntu.com as that was probably the
next closest mirror and that worked fine,
(except it tried to connect to the IPv6 address:
[2001:770:18:aa40::c101:c145] :-p I use IP6 in my network so I can't
really turn that off, so I changed it to deb http://193.1.193.69/ubuntu/
dapper main ...)
then I changed it back to archive.ubuntu.com and all was well.

Just one of those things I guess. :-)
