We're relocating to Glasgow later this year ... wuppee! We've been looking on the 'net for potential places to move, and getting a feel for what's available, and for how much. The best site we've found so far is www.gspc.co.uk - lots of information, downloadable schedules, frequently updated.

All was fine and dandy until about a fortnight ago when the site suddenly stopped responding. I can run a traceroute to it, I can ping it, but it just won't load. My browser either starts to load the site at appallingly low speed (inevitably failing before getting anywhere near done) or returns a 'timed out' message.

So I just went to Nominet and ran a whois search, thinking I might phone someone tomorrow and ask what's going on. And guess what I found:

Whyohwhyohwhy am I surprised at this?

Who should I call? Should I bother?
