S.N.A.F.U

Seeing as the deadline passed with no change I had the same problem... Did ring the viewer enquiry line and they seemed aware of the problem and it seemed last time something like this happened everything just stacked up... Submissions did get through!! The detailed explanation says about the same thing... We'll see!

What part of Cheshire Moose? I used to be from Chester before I joined the diaspora down here in london. Fifteen years and they still haven't learned to fry decent chips south of the Watford Gap.

Actually am from London! The Cheshire is more a Cheshire Cat thing... long story! Sorry for my own false advertising!

Good to see the production team respond... May post a big OII PRODUCTION TEAM thread... Just still have no idea if it ever worked!

Attempting reassurance in both topics! Got the following email after another enquiry!!
