Yes! Not necessarily in the first announcement though.

My son is on a yacht in the middle of the Atlantic. If he tries for tickets on Sunday can he use his uk debit card or will it know he is not in the uk and have to use a credit card?

Look at the error message, Akamai did not like something... Edgesuite.net is Akamai security. My guess is that they do some of their checks after the queue, and whilst you think you're ok in the queue, you could be wasting your time as you may get rejected after anyway... 

Bit random that, completely irrelevant to what I asked, I haven't mentioned plans to limit smoking in public places.  I'm talking about the plans to effectively ban smoking altogether. I agree with plans to restrict smoking tobacco products in parks, and where there are normally children around.  Funny you should mention that though, since only 51% of all polled (YouGov,) including non smokers, support banning smoking in pub beer gardens (which the outdoor restaurant ban will effectively do.) A majority still, I admit, but a far cry from "everyone." Also, 20% of none smokers, yes NONE SMOKERS, oppose further restrictions anywhere, I guess they wouldn't be too happy being lumped in with "everyone" either. Meanwhile, almost half of smokers themselves actually support further restrictions in places where it makes sense.    Of course there is overwhelmingly strong support for sports grounds and hospitals, from all sides, I support these myself, along with schools, parks, playgrounds, child care centres, youth clubs etc etc. In fact, I thought it already was banned in sports grounds and outside hospitals! But the story is very different when it comes to Pub Gardens, and I imagine that would be the same picture for other places that are primarily centres for adult relaxation, entertainment and socialising.  You seem to forget, I do not smoke, none of the announced legislation affects me in the slightest. So I have no stake in this whatsoever, other than common sense, preserving freedoms and not wanting a government to overstep it's remit. Trust me, with every inch they're given they will take another mile, regardless of what party is in power. You might be 'getting what you want' this time around, but somewhere down the line, maybe in a few years, maybe a decade or two, when they're going after something that does directly affect you, you'll think back to this conversation. 😉 

I am going for the 20th time! woo!
