I added a reply to this thread last night quoting a reply I got from GR yesterday about the problem, and also giving my thoughts on the subject and it appears to have been removed by GR. I wasn't offensive and just stated my opinion that I didn't think they wanted to spend any more money on extra band width even though they are getting a lot of extra visitors to the site. Wonder how long this reply will stay here???? Kath. x

Hi Kath I read your reply and it wasn't the least bit offensive. Perhaps the truth hurts! Jeanette x

Hi Cherry Yes it's fair zipping along at the moment but there aren't many people on yet. Let's wait and see what happens later on. Jeanette x

Hi Jeanette Glad you didn't think i was being offensive - I certainly didn't intend to be. I've never had a reply removed before and I think I've had a few moans that I would have considered more worthy of removal than this one. Kath. x

John said " have been told that there is a problem with internet that affects South of England. I'm on tiscali and thats what they are saying. any thoughts?" ... I am in the south of England. Our computer is fine. Other sites are fine. It was only this site. Free BMD is "slowish" at present but at least an explanation is given for it. Joy

Yes its ok early in the morning, but as more and more get on its gets slower. Dont forget that our american cousins join us late evening which must put a big load on the system.

Kathleen - GR removed a reply of mine when I quoted what they said because they then told me that I should not quote private correspondence with them. Joy

I can't see how a reply from them about a general grumble by lots of people about the site can be described as 'private'. Kath. x

Oh joy, today its like instantaneous! Wonder if it will stay like this tonight? Thank you so much GR and Michelle if this is truly sorted. Its bad enough having to minimise every time hubby walks in the door, but when you are waiting 10 minutes for the page to turn its agony. 6pm. spoke too soon?????
