I've tested this on 5 iPhone 5's. I'd say its not my device.

No it doesn't, you do realise he's talking about the shop and not the forum.
Other places won't be programmed the same.
Different browsers render things differently, it's usually complaints about IE rendering stuff differently. That's why it's important for web developers to test on all platforms and browsers.

OP
The main site? If you pinch to zoom it re-renders the page. Annoying!
Not tested chrome on iOS. I've always used safari and its only recently that the problem has arisen.
It doesn't it on every single I device, I've never seen it work correctly. If you have such a device lets see a video. I expect it's to do with how safari renders the ocuk webpage,
I've just spam zoomed in and out on my iPhone 5 and it does do as you say - sometimes. Every 4th/5th zoom, or similar. It's not really something I've noticed or found to be an issue really. Though I don't often go on the shop on my phone/tablet.
I've just compared it on a HTC One X running Google Chrome and that just blurs all the text instead, which is essentially equally useless. The default HTC browser exhibits similar behaviour but not quite as bad.
Perhaps the site could be better optimised then, certainly. The search box as I mentioned above is utterly terrible and I'm surprised OCUK haven't fixed it yet.
However when the majority of others using the same or similar devices with the same software are reporting no issue then it's more likely to be the individual device.
Just tried dolphin and atomic and both do the same.
Wp8 on lumia 520 renders it properly as does ie on desktop. But that's no surprise, I bet the web developer only tested it in ie.

I suppose it was too much to accept this wouldn't turn in to an Apple bashing?
Yeah but alas the maturity level here isn't high enough.
Erm, Safari is based on Webkit, an open-source browser engine. The same engine that was used by Chrome up until the recent fork they did.
Seeing as Webkit is pretty much one the better supporters of HTML5 and W3C standards I'd suggest the problem is with OCUK's CSS/HTML> I've seen the odd loading behaviour (where it looks like parts of the website load behind others) and that looks like a CSS issue to me. Probably a framework related to whatever platform the shop site runs on.

See my post above. All browsers on iOS use Webkit. The problem (post above that) is bad CSS causing problems with Webkit.
I would go for frame issues as well, I also don't get why you have a back ground picture which just takes bandwidth and you can't see behind everything anyway.
W3c throws out loads of frame issues

My point is that Safari could be a bad derivation of webkit like, Linux for ****** is a bad derivation of Ubunutu.

It passes on the acid3 test.
Although it does throw up a few red boxes on acid2
But it's ocuk using outdated website.
