"Don't forget to bookmark us! (CTRL-D)" did nothing for me.

Tel: +44 (0) 207 993 8611 is not correct. Anyone INSIDE the UK knows that they have to dial 0207... People outside the UK are clueless (those from the USA especially) that the (0) is NOT dialed when calling. So, it should be Tel: +44 207 993 8611.

I think this tag: <meta name='keywords content= is malformed.

What is so difficult about changing the copyright year?

Contact Us info is good.

Actually Dave, the year the work is first published isn't supposed to change. In theory if somebody substantially copied the site and put copyright 2007 and the author herein put copyright 2008, you could see where a problem could arise.....I understand your point, you would like to see the 2008 so that it gives the viewer the idea that the website is updated and monitored....

As usual we see eye to eye on the phone numbers. I would even go one step further and get a toll free number in the US that will ring your phone in the UK, its too cheap not to do....

Thanks very much Dave, for your comments and Ideas, I have already adjusted the telephone number to remove the (0) so now the number is +44 207 993 8611

I agree with you about the book mark, we will take it off as part of the redesign, and put the addthis.com button at the bottom of the page.

What do you suggest about, how to get the meta name='keywords content= fixed

Any other ideas or comments please let me know, I think your on the money
Thanks Dave

Thanks friend, Great idea about the US telephone number, it makes a lot of sense, we already get a lot of traffic from US, the US telephone number will help us to convert and engage the US customers and traffic into more bookings.

Thanks for the Idea, please let me know if there is anything else that could help to improve our site
