And I only spoke last week and she was up for it and asking about how much control we have over the CSS style of it, I said all, to which she was pleased...

 

Okay been thinking about this for ages. TEF are really trying to make their forum make profit for the 8 owners lol. Won't ever work. They don't get enough traffic even now they've gone over the line using a domain so close to ours it still won't work.

So, thought I'd do something they won't ever be able to do now.

Right now Google give you £400 extra spends if you spend £400. So this is for national companies who want to reach UK electricians.

The following are some OLD...
