I think that at present the BBC has a connection problem. The message I keep getting is....'The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading'.
Clicking the 'Try again' button which accompanies the message then activates the Home Page.Hans.
I get a 'connection reset' message whenever I try to access, say, the BBC Weather page but invariably refreshing the page twice (i.e. a couple of prods on the F5 button) brings it up normally and I've got normal access to the BBC site from there on.
