    Since 'Today' have mentioned it every 15 minutes this morning, the servers are crashing as they can't cope with the demand.
    So blame John Humphrys...
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    The home page loads (eventually), but then when I search for something, that browser window (and all the currently open tabs on that window) freezes!

    Our hard-earned tax dollars at work, huh? :rotfl::beer:
    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 can get to the home page and get the same freezing when searching for my home town......

    .....but then again with my home town being Croydon given the shear volume of crime data it's needing to go away, find and try plot, such a crash is entirely understandable :A

    It did work just fine earlier this morning, but presumably that was before all the publicity caused the huge rush.

    I'm sure it will work later once everything calms down.

    When I saw your title, I assumed it meant a large group of police busted into your house, froze your PC with some kind of ice gun and ran out the door with it! I was very disappointed on reading the thread that this was not at all what happened :D
