First apologies for the tardy reply, my PC is playing up.  Over heating 
I think :(

I've tried to find a non-valid pagename, but can't seem to find one!  
All I get is the same issue or as Joshua said, describe page here.  Am I 
being dim?  I'd like to set this so if some one clicks on a now 'non 
existing' page in Google, they get this behaviour.

Makes sense, it's just something I've never thought about.  As per 
Neil's comment, I think a warning in the release notes to remove pages 
is a good idea.
