Thanks niggle - very useful

Can you please confirm whether the above dimensions were centimetres or inches?

inches. Have a look on www.simpsons-uk.com they show sizes etc

Thanks again niggle. I did try reading their website, but every time I got down to the detail, I kept getting the unable to display webpage message. Either their website isn't as good as their service, or more likely, the website has had problems over the weekend, and won't be running properly until somebody gets to work tomorrow morning.

Strange -I am looking at their website now!

I did find it after my last post - I was looking on the moving within the UK area. As soon as I moved to their International section, it worked fine. However, I guess they use the same packing boxes for domestic or international.

Big Boy,
This is the second thread today where I have read that you are having problems accessing a website, so it seems to me that there is something wrong in your system, either the security settings or your browser. I think you said you were using IE7, so I would suggest downloading another browser such as Firefox or Opera, as well as looking at your internet security - from what you said elsewhere it sounds like you have Norton, which I have found to be horrendous whenever I have used it in the past, slowing the system down and preventing access to too many websites. I have heard many other people say the same in the past, but obviously it is up to you how much security you want.

Wanderlust,

Thanks for the advice. However, on this occassion it was me, not the PC

The other instance is unique to whenever I try to access the HHDR site. It does happen consistently, and as Webmaster has confirmed that everything checks out his end, I'll check it at work tomorrow. If I can access the site OK at work, then I contact my supplier (not Norton, but Trend - the software is provided in conjunction with my online banking, and has been very reliable over the years). If I have problems at work, then I'll get back on to Dawn/Webmaster.
