Slightly off topic , BUT:

In the UK this a.m. we were unable to access Google [I was in the North Wales region]
it gave a reply of 'sorry, but we are having difficulties' then asked you to type the displayed characters to proceed ?????????

was Google.co.uk under a DDOS attack ?
OR
was the page shown, a fake, linking to god knows where ?

All OK now .........

just ODD

not googles day really.................
