Advertising on BBC Website
It seems that the BBC have changed their website today, and as a result even though I am in the UK and at home (so not through a company proxy) and connected via BT Broadband, I am seeing advertising that is meant to be only for international visitors.
Anyone else seeing this?
There's a little note about it at the top
"Notice anything different? Find out about changes to the BBC News website"

Re: Advertising on BBC Website
Slightly off topic here, for me the BBC News and BBC Sport sites have been very slow today. I wonder if it's related?

I filled in the form to report it when I noticed it.
And lo and behold, it has gone now.

With BBC sport I wonder if it's the live cast Murray tennis match feed that is slowing things.

Likely coupled with the MJ footage.
Seems ok just now though.
