Yep, seems there was a short break in service. A good time for server maintenance and backups, at a guess.
Website just down for around 10 mins (13:09). Timeout error messages.
It's just been down for more like 30-40 mins, not terribly impressive but I suppose we gets what we pays for.

Longer than that. More like from shortly after 15:00 to just after 17:30. :unwell:

Excellent - quite a lot faster than usual then!
Not sure what's going on now ... Is the website on steroids - I think it's the fastest it's ever been ! Pages are loading instantly, in fact I had to press refresh a few time to check it was a genuine response ... Must be the threat of loosing business :lol:
