Quick question all, I tried to do a couple of orders today via the web for hattons but I keep getting the error message saying their server won't connect. Is it offline or something this end

The website is up and down more than a thingy's whotsits lately. Sometimes, when it's neither up nor down, you get a page apologising for this and a request to ring them on 0151 733 3655 where you can order just like in the old days

Useful if you are in the UK, not so helpful in New Zealand...

It's not been the same since they tried to link the server to a Hornby Select

I had similar problems about 10days ago at the weekend and sent an Email requesting information. The answer given was that there were problems with the software and that I would be able to order using the guest option. This I duly did and the order went through OK.
Maybe you will also be able to order using the guest opotion.

Have tried to connect to the Hattons website this evening to no avail; I guess the site is down temporarily.
