It is a good site, Kath, and make the most of it because it may not be around much longer. Kate.

Good, but oh so slow - for me anyway - I think they have now run out of funding, as Kate says. I did mail them perhaps last year to suggest some improvements to make it all a bit more user friendly and at that time they said that they had no more money to improve it. Shame, it could be very handy after you finally navigated it. Ive found several of mine on there.
