    That's a bit of a worry though... If the counter uses your computer clock then we don't know precisely when 1pm begins! Nooooo! My anxiety level has just skyrocketed!
    You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.

    I would have thought less likely. But that's just my personal opinion.

    Its just the rooms are much cheaper at the weekend - I assume they are used a lot by business people so they will be less busy at weekends. i was thinking of trying for a Sat at £1 then the Sunday at £29. some hope I expect.:rotfl:

    That's certainly possible, but I bet most business people won't be sitting at their PCs waiting for the £1 sale - I assume these people will pay full price, leaving the cheap rooms for us. But you never know!

    My clock is correct, and I'm now seeing the booking page with choice of £1 or £29 rooms ...

    The booking buttons appear. But you can't click them. They say "Click here at 1pm"

    No, I can't click on them either - they're greyed out at the moment. I'm linked to an external server (I work from home with a server link to the head office) - so maybe their clocks are wrong.

    I am officially be-fuddled.

    Anyone who has done this before, do you know if you can just highlight a load of dates and see if any are available, or do you have you click a date, see if it's available and then try another if not?

    Yeah, those servers' computers must be wrong... if I change the time on my local machine then the countdown timer changes accordingly!
    I wonder if Hoxton's computers are fast or slow!

    Myrtle77, worry not. The system is very fair and UK bookings will be released at 1pm.
