Very strange internet problem
It is blowing a gale and chucking it down outside so I am in the warm with a coffee looking at the internet. A weird thing has happened - the whole
internet except Locostbuilders appears to be down. This site is working fine (except the adverts which say problem loading page), but everything else
in the WWW is "Firefox can't find the server at news.bbc.co.uk" etc
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Could be a Domain Name Server (DNS) issue. The browser remembers the IP for lb but nothing else.

otherwise it's always worth opening up a command prompt and typing
ipconfig /flushdns
