Hi All Just to put in my tuppence worth!! I was searching for 'Joanes' in Sussex this morning. I specified Horsham, as that is where they mainly were, & bought up heaps. I've just tried again because I accidentally closed down the site. Now I can't bring up a single one having tried Horsham, Sussex nothing!! My advice is keep on trying. The new website is nowhere as consistent as the old one!!!
