New technology strikes again!

If any one has been trying to get on to the Yarnsmith.co.uk website, sincere apologies, but it would appear we have a gremlin in the system. I have spent all day trying to convince the webhost that there is a technical problem and have learnt alot of new phrases in to the bargain.

The last conversation went something like;
Me: Just ringing to see if there's an update on the problem I logged this morning.
Tech Guy: The engineer says he's "pinged" the website and there's no problem.
Me: That's interesting, this morning the engineer said you didn't host this website, so presumably he's changed his mind.
Tech Guy: Would appear so. Anyway, there's no problem.
Me: Could you try and get on to the site please?
Tech Guy (bored!): Ok. (pause) Oh, I can't get on. It says no website address.
Me: That would be a bit of a problem then. Could you get the engineer to stop "pinging" around and fix it.................

..............................................you get the general idea?

So, as I say, sincere apologies if you've been trying to get to Yarnsmith. Watch this space.......

I'm glad I checked here. Should have done it before I emailed you. Hope it all gets sorted out quickly!

Those dreaded gremlins - never mind, hope it gets mended soon.
