Yes, of course, I was only noting that you might see a bogus order.
Actually just looking a little deeper. On this page:
Catalogue
You do not display the pound sign.
On this page here:
PC Repair / Support
you do display the pound sign.
Naturally displaying the pound sign (I think) is preferable. British visitors won't mind seeing it and American/Canadian/Irish ones will automatically know that pricing is in pounds.

I just don't care for the fact that the ONLY payment option is paypal. There should be a secure method on your site to accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex (or other credit cards that you think are popular enough in the UK to think about of course).

Of course there is a connection, so no big deal, just wanted to make sure you were aware of it because you could be pointing to an e-mail address that you typed out of habit but which are no longer monitoring. It would really stink if you were getting leads into the .co.uk address and you were monitoring the .net e-mail!

On the rollover itself. The color shades from lighter to darker as you go from left to right. At some point, in that color spectrum, the color matches the (yellow? mustard?) in the Keimos logo (which is good), but I don't like the fact that it is shaded from lighter to darker.
The transparency is problematic because if somebody is trying to focus on the drop down menu, their eye is invariably going to be drawn (at least somewhat), to the underlying text. The distraction, no matter how minor it might seem, should be eliminated.

Logos are difficult because whether people like them or not is inherently subjective. Notwithstanding there are a couple of objective things:
1. The tagline 'Targeting Your Training Needs' is a shade of blue that is a lighter shade of blue which is in your background. That is a poor contrast. On your other .co.uk site the background is a much darker blue (navy blue)
2. Let's say that the 'Keimos' in the logo is yellow, well, the 'Online Shop' is not only using larger font, but its also shifting color to orange AND its using a different font (or Keimos is italicized)

I have a UK Free Phone that rings my phone here in the US which costs $10.00 per month. Toll free numbers are highly recommended. Obviously you are in the best position to assess the cost/benefit.
