Comments are welcome but .......

Good news update!!!!!

We have solved the problem, it was the browser Internet Explorer, apparently it is fraught with problems and makes websites look awful. I highly recommend updating to Firefox, Chrome or Safari for easier and more beautiful browsing. Have a happy day :)

Hello everyone,

I do apologise for those who want to leave comments and can't.

For some reason we can't fathom only certain people are able to leave a  comment:(

I will get my IT team on to it, ie: the children! and hopefully we can work out what is going wrong.
It could be a browser problem?
