How many visitors does it trap each year? :-)

Why have you got a sigless sig separator at the end of your posts?

The infamous Puya! They grow like weeds in Tresco and Ray has recently
planted Puya spathacea in our garden but P chilensis is much more
spectacular and imo, looks quite unreal!

I was wondering what they do to prevent small children wandering too close ...

Probably cos I used to have a sig then I decided not to and never disabled the
bit that posts what is now a blank file.

Now get somebody to tell me why live streaming BBC Radio iPlayer no
longer works with the current version of Opera. Filling in the form to
report the problem seems to have been a waste of time.

Filling in the form to complain /should/ get you a response within a
fairly short length of time, as there is an SLA on it.

I shall ask.

I got an acknowledgement and nothing further.

Hmm.

Thanks!

I asked, but the person I know (almost-godfather to one of my children)
is apparently not doing that any more. :-(

I suspected that that may end up being the answer. Bit pants. :-/

Especially that somebody at the BBC considers the big five browsers to
be comprised of
Google Chrome 26.x
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.x
Mozilla Firefox 19.x
Safari 6.x
Google Chrome 25.x

Two obsolete versions of Chrome and excludes Opera, which is on
everybody else's big five browser list.

Firefox/Iceweasel is the only one of theabove in my top 2 - and Opera is
the other.

At various times I have used all 5 of the real Big 5 browsers. As the
default to use when clicking on a URL I use the one that starts and
runs fastest currently that is Chrome 27.x

I only ever used Internot Exploder once - to get Opera. I used Opera to
get Firebird.

Can't unforget why I had to use IE, 'cos up to then in Win 3.0 I'd been
using Mosaic, then Netscrape.

Can't remember what I used in Linux FT

Opera and Firefox in my case.

Neither Opera nor Firebird was written, and even Nutscrape hadn't been
developed from Mosaic then.

OK, a lot of my internet stuff was at work, where we ran FT and Unix.

I have still got a rather s l o w modem which worked on a CP/M
box running Locoscript, and some other DR products.
