Bandwidth lockout today

Some of you may have seen an error message when trying to access the site today, the error was effectively saying that you lot have nothing better to do with your time.  :smirk:

Our new host was caught out by how much traffic the site gets and set the limits too low. All sorted (doubled) now  :thumb:

You can only advertise that deal if you had a "buy four stickers and we will send you two" offer in at least one retail outlet for at least 28 consecutive days in the last six months. Otherwise it isn't a sale offer.

Seems like a better deal than a lot of the Black Friday tosh.

FR, it'd be a lot more inviting if your stickers doubled up as postage stamps. You could stick them on the envelope, we'd only pay for the stickers and you could advertise your field camping facility. Sorted.  :icon_wink:
So how's it going so far then?
