    Well that was a rush. Never launched a site to this size of audience before. I think I've fixed the crashing bugs, and also removed some lingering nasty entries that several passes of manual filtering didn't catch. (Thanks for the heads up on those!) And now, breathe.

    GOING ON HOLIDAY IN THE COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN IS STILL NOT A 'STAYCATION'. If you go to the seaside for a week THAT'S A HOLIDAY. A 'staycation' is when you stay at home & try to do fun stuff anyway to make the most of not being able to afford a sodding holiday.

    And then after all that hard work for the exam board to slap on an indiscriminate algorithm that averages everything out is a complete insult to my integrity and professionalism anybody would think that they don't trust me to do my job after nearly 25 years.
