So all seems ok, unless he's not paid the GO Big Media bill, although he could be just changing servers and not upped the site yet.

I wanna know why they/he has the address in Wood Green in North London on there website which actully is about 20 mins from my house and I have lived in the area since I was a kid I'm now 55, and I've been into CB since 1975 so I would have thought I would have seen or been to them at lease once but I have'nt and when you go to that so called address no one has heard of them, so what does that say as such, plus to me they seem too secrective about things like you cant go to the workshop or take your radio to them yourself :?
but some say they are very good :roll: but Amersham is a long way from North London so thats even more confusing

It was too much to hope for - the web site is back up.

Its one of those dodgy postal addresses that forward on mail, or you collect it. Hundreds of companies use that address.
