I sense the hand of our absent database admin in this! Even I didn't know about it! _________________ Darren Griffin |

I hope it reverts to normal at midday or we'll get the moaners again. One of the reasons I avoided any April Foolery this year was because in recent years we've had a small number who failed to see the funny side.
One became quite abusive and cancelled his sub! Quite bizarre! _________________ Darren Griffin |

It's a JOKE, I didn't pick it and I can't change it.
If it's that annoying, come back after midday when I hope normality will resume and the original fonts will be back. _________________ Darren Griffin |

Not sure if it’s part of the April Fool thing but when I try and download the latest database I get sent to a page from June 2003.
Damn this is a b*gger to read _________________ TomTom GO720 and TomTom GO750

He organised it weeks ago. I caught him testing it in the early hours and was sworn to secrecy. _________________ Anita

So it does (did)! It looks as if MaFt was trying shift the blame onto me, but he forgot that I don't have the power to change the website.
@ MaFt: Don't bother to come back from holiday. I'm not sure there'll be a job waiting for you. _________________ Anita

Spent time lookin' for a font scale increaser like they have on PDF pages but there wasn't one. Then I scrunched up my tired old eyes and peered real hard. My God, thought I, these posts are mostly drivel, they're not meant to be taken seriously. So I went back to bed to check the date, 'cos I always change my sheets on the 2nd April and I saw it's tomorra, begorra. At that moment all became clear. Don't you enjoy days that turn out good? I luv 'em. |

Just for once, I DIDN'T fall for this Took a break at 11.55 for some lunch and to get my eyes working properly again. Then suddenly twigged the date and realised I should be ok afterwards to read all the again and make spome sense of them .
Probably just as well MaFt didn't release an update today - with his sense of ... I'll bet there would have been quite an increase in camera revenue for the jolly old traffic partnerships . _________________ David
