Morning News

Good morning...

An average day, yesterday...

With no major stand out points.

I spent much of the day trawling through email logs trying to identify a problem that a few of you have.

I eventually determined that it's someone else's problem and have the following message for the few of you affected (I have emailed you but, if your service provider's email server is down, you won't get that email.)

This message is for the 23 of you who are members of Focus Ratings and use email accounts which end with the following addresses...

@virginmedia.com, @blueyonder.co.uk, @ntlworld.com and @virgin.net.

All these email domains are managed by the same server(s)

There is a problem with these servers and your mails are being delayed.

l have logged a support call but, in the mean time, if you don't get your ratings or system selections then you will need to get them from the site.

So, let's get on and take a quick look at yesterday's results in more detail....
