First time I've logged on in a few months and am staggered at how ugly and un-navigable this website has become.....this is a 'makeover'? What in god's name were they thinking? Hideous and annoying banner ads at the top of the page are an offensive way to treat paying customers; add to that that it's next to impossible to find anything anymore....

Utterly horriffic. I won't be renewing my subscription.

Longer than a few months I think as the site has been like this for a long time.

I believe you can get rid of all ads, someone will advise on that.

What is it you can' find? the FAQS section under 'Help' top menu may explain some of the changes to layout etc. :-)

Don't fret they have hired a Dutch social networking expert with long experience in Russia ( da ) - her brief is to turn around the £ 2M annual loss of the family history properties of D C Thompson.

If not then they will follow the Dandy.

Things can change
There's always changes
And I wanna try
Some rearranging

I say, drop the pilot
Try my balloon
Drop the monkey
Smell my perfume

Drop the mahout
I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army
To fight a losing battle

Animal, mineral
Physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need

If you want solid ground
Come on and try me
Or I can take you so high
That you're never gonna wanna come down

Drop the mahout
I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army
To fight a losing battle

Animal, mineral
Physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need

Very apt!

Look what they've done to my tree, Ma
Look what they've done to my tree
Well, it's the only thing I could do half right
And its turning out all wrong, Ma
Look what they've done to my tree.
