I'd have thought the BBC website maintainers would have noticed that the Weather site (as linked to from the news.bbc.co.uk front page) is broken. And has been, not for hours, not even for days, but for weeks!

I've given up and gone to the met office instead.

It's a bit odd. Dropping a proxy in the way seems to fix it.

Killing the cookie apparently fixed it, briefly.

But leaving the proxy out, and letting it see a cookie seems to cause the server at the far end to stop responding at exactly the same point each time.

I'm investigating further.

Interestingly, by killing all cookies, and then making sure I change my hometown to Royston immediately seems to have kicked it into actually working.

So it looks as though I got myself a corrupted cookie (which would explain the far end getting uptight).
