Downtime was 15:15 to 19:45. Reason for failure - our worker server's file systems had been set to "read only" which meant that the web server software couldn't do its bookkeeping and fell over. It would appear that the company who hosts the server had been unable to collect their monthly fee ... don't know why, perhaps a glitch somewhere; when I went on and manually paid, it went through and I then had to nudge them to remove the block and when they has doe than restart the server and finally let the recpetionist know!
All done from Swindon Station, train to Paddington, on the platform at Stratford and now finishing up on a Greater Anglia service!

It was an outage, rather than an outrage. I and member ChrisB alerted grahame to the issue - which he was already working on solving.

Bit of a long shot, but I know Halifax are changing their credit cards from Mastercard to Visa and any Continuous Payment Authorities may need updating with the new details. I believe if the card scheme stays the same (e.g. an expiring Visa card is replaced with another Visa card) companies can use Visa Updater (or the Mastercard equivalent) to get the new details (so not the case here).
