Thanks Hallmark. I understand the principle of the robot checks but keep failing that particular site’s test and give up because life is too short. This evening I identified everything I recognised as A shop front and still failed. Maybe our shopfronts look different here compared to wherever they designed the test. No doubt my fault but I find it tedious to go through.

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.

Try a different browser, I never have to do a test, just click on the little square, I'm using Firefox on the laptop and Google Chrome on the iPad, the only time I have to do the test is if I use Google Chrome on the work computer, I usually use Firefox there as well but sometimes the image won't open.
If memory serves my correctly I used to get the test but haven't got it for a year or two, hope I haven't just jinxed it.
