Do you ever have one of those mornings where every (simple) task seems to take an age - where every code change that would normally be automatic for you results in a string of mis-spellings and syntax errors?

I set out when I rose at dawn this morning to change the front page on our http://www.wellho.co.uk site so that the pulldown menu for UK visitors for on course sites would offer them their own location and nearby ones first. Now that sounds easy enough, but what a struggle. I think it works, but I'm taking the rest of the day off!

If anyone from elsewhere in the UK would care to test the link above for me and let me know if it does anything silly - yes, I would be grateful. I'm not inclined to set off on my own UK tour purely to test it!

Update - 2nd September. I'm up in Cambridgeshire, testing the code, and it's come up with the menu shown here .... and I have other good feedback too. Thank you to everyone who's let me know
