Thanks for that Roy, and to Paul also - though I never see his
posts as of the last four weeks or so, I've never killfiled him, his
posts just never get through to Wanadoo, somehow - I find that Nominet
are a bit slow at updating their records sometimes, that site was
registered exactly one month ago, and has been accessible ever since...
I have another domain that I moved and renewed two weeks ago, it is
still showing as "in progress" or some such.
I am still surprised that the windows and doors site does so well
for a new site, for a serp that is quite well populated with
established sites.

Regards,
Will.
