Phil - looks like the links to other sites are opening in the same window/tab instead of new window/tab


BTW that one looks different from what we were testing :D :D

Sorry Phil but I will get you sweating
The option to hide unwanted forum category - should it stay hidden once it's been hidden??
Once I refresh the page it expands itself.

We got some made a long time back but they never sold and we ended up giving them away to the Site Sponsors. I think the problem is that they are low value and expensive to ship.
I just had a quick look and the cost to source is going to be about £400 for 70 mugs. Add on the £4 for P&P and that's £10 per mug already. Then delivery can be a problem as they won't fit through a letterbox. I don't think it's worth the return on investment.

I did consider pens though. Always need a pen in the car.
