Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2007 5:32 am    Post subject: Yup, there should be only pigs! Because Nigel has had some problems with his own pictures being stolen and sold on ebay (amazing, but true) as someone elses work we put in place protection so that if the pictures were "borrowed" from non-authorised places it was replaced with a picture of the delightful anne, like this: It shouldn't do it here, as here is authorised! What can you see below? If you still see Anne, can you force a refresh of your browser. If you still see Anne, can you PM me and we can try and work out why!
