    On this spring day in April 1979 it would seem that I had a day out to Reading, However rather than the normal routes from Nottingham on this day I travelled via Grantham and the ECML. As always feedback and comments welcome.

    Just done a Google search for Fotopic. NONE of the links work including going to Fotopic direct!
    This happens all too often where high profile sites go down, it was the National Lottery last week.

    Fotopic is down - two trains of thought - its gone bust or the servers are out. Take your pick as there is no definitive statement to be found.
