Hi Malcolm I agree its a swiz. There was a big hoo and haa when this was launched because it allowed text based searches linked to the images. However altho that facility is now fee based, I think you can still search by parish cant you?

Hi Judy It is still free, at least it was last week. The fee based service is for corporate users, you just need to click the right button. Regards Ian.
