I want a page with lots of "click here" links on it, to use as an
example.

Any suggestions?

Yes .

You learn how to use the google search engine instead of asking others 
to do your work for you and serve it up on a gold rimmed plate .

I guess you want to demonstrate the inaccessibility of inappropriate link
text?

Not "click here" but "more information".  Will that do:

I followed our resident tosser's advice and it actually worked!  That's not
meant to be a reflection on you asking the question, btw.

Indeed. I'm trying to find a page which demonstrates how unhelpful they
are, but it's such a difficult term to search for. The demonstration
really needs several "click here"s in succession, so I can show how a
screen reader would present the list of links in the page, i.e:

        click here
        click here
        click here
        click here
        click here
        click here
        click here

I think it really has to be "click here", not least for the verb "click"
which fails to apply to every user who doesn't click.

Take a look at <http://images.ed4.net/images/htdocs/addressbook/>; it's
not exactly like that but it may be a bit nearer what you are looking
for.

But that's just language, surely.  You'd still say to a blind person "Do you
see what I mean", you'd probably ask someone in a wheel chair if they want
to go for a walk.

Personally, I think you're right but I don't think it has anything to do
with accessibility.  The whole point is that you don't instruct people at
all.  Open a book and look at the index.  It doesn't say:

Accessibility     Turn to page 22

It just says

Accessibility     22

Obviously, the word Accessibility becomes the frame of reference, so that
should become the word associated with the link whether a person is using a
mouse of some other form of navigation.

Yes, I agree with this.
Maybe a combo of words is what is required such as "click here for
details of new products".
Oh and I have known of us blind people to ask each other "did you
watch such and such movie".
