Heads up, downthetubers! Thanks to support from many of our readers – thank you! – and an amazing technical assist by friends of the site behind the scenes – thank you, too! – we are making some major “under the bonnet” changes to the site, which will impact us from Tuesday 12th August for, hopefully, a couple of days.
This shouldn’t impact your viewing of the site, but please note that comments on posts made in the next couple of days might be lost… so you may just want to hold off from pitching in with your welcome observations on our work!
John Freeman, Webmaster
