  • it should have been removed now or be password protected as i emailed them the other day. I got the below reply

    Many thanks for drawing this to our attention and please accept my sincere apologies that this has happened. We have put an immediate password authorisation on the files so that they can no longer be accessed and we are now looking into what went wrong to ensure that it does not happen again.

    I do apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.

    I can re-email and say you can still view it on google cache and i can update you.

    Hope this helps

    thanks for your post

    It's up to you jennarothen I emailed them earlier to say that the details are available via Google cache and provided the links but it might get a better response if you email them again as well ;)

    I would imagine that the Google cache entries will soon disappear as they will now be time limited, now the data isn't accessible to the Google web bot on the Bauer website
