I notice a few days ago that the BBC regions are no longer displayed on
the link toolbar at the top of the screen. You can get them but you
have to click "UK" first.
Is this general or just my PC?

Under "Home", I see England/NIreland/Scotland/Alba/Wales/Cymru + Local

Under "UK", I see the same with Guernsey/Jersey/IoM added to the list,
which is odd as none of those three are part of the UK.

bbc.co.uk

I deleted the cookies but as it connects to bbc.co.uk., it immediately
changes to bbc.com

whereas if I try to visit the .com I get bumped back to the .co.uk

left running, so it thinks you're in $forrin, have you?

Just remembered I was trying to look at site yesterday and set to USA!
I knew there must be some simple answer, just a matter of finding it.

use Chrome or Edge as your default browser, and Opera when you want to
use a VPN as it has one built in.
