This is all very strange. You are the only confirmed visitor *with* JS
apparently enabled, who seems to have their JS blocked for AdWords and
Google Maps. Those are the elements you claim did not appear with JS
enabled, while you tested our site for 20 minutes.

Now you are saying that the fact our servers are in the UK somehow disabled
JS. :-S We use the UK's most reliable company, LiquidSix, who have a
>99.9% uptime.

We still think you had JS off. Please try it now with JS on and our new
validated code.

Strange people here. We have spent 2 days refining the code to be as W3C
friendly as possible. Why give us feedback, which we act on, if you are
then going to make bizarre comments like that? If you have nothing nice to
say, don't feel the need to respond.
