Not this Clive, maybe another one (seem to be several Clives on this
group).

Another Clive Page indeed!

But there have been fares which I could only get on the Southern
(WEBTIS) web site (where GTR's previous crap front end directed ticket
purchases). Their summer-only web-only Super Off-Peak CBG-London
Terminals Day Return was an example.

Indeed, for tickets that can be used on only one operator you have to
use their website, as far as I know (except for Thameslink-only
tickets it had to be the Southern website, which seems odd, except
that they are all the same company now). I didn't know East Coast
gave Nectar points too, useful to know.

Not so in my experience. I /can/ buy AGA-only CBG-LST tickets on GTR's web
site, not that I ever have.
