Hi,

thanks for the links.  Interesting thought.  If the BGS was working I'd 
be able to check if it was real or local.  BGS sensors have been off 
since the 24th of December, outrageous and embarrassing.  Presumably 
Monday may bring some hope.  I'm tempted to email a complaint to them 
(it's my taxes!).

Thanks

Ian
