I'll still have the telly on in the kitchen but I can imagine the sites crashing at half time :)
All those kettles being switched on...and all that surfing during half time. I hope they can cope? :)
Thanks Mandy, I haven't looked at the 1911 Census yet, so it will really enjoy it.Quote:

People like me, who aren't interested in football (and don't have a TV) don't know when the matches are on.
I've just registered and logged on, found my mother in 1911, and wanted to see the household.
It wants me to pay to see the entry.
Is it the wrong time of day, or have I done something wrong?
Quentin, try again in about 15-20 mins. Match starts at 7.30pm
This might be of use to u

That site's very slow.
To be expected, I suppose.
I couldn't get on either!
It was slow...just refresh the page and you'll get through...probably easier next game.
Yeah I got on there in the end.
I tried for ages !, with no luck at all !!....I got to put my name in once then it came up unavailable, I'll try next time !. fingers crossed..but thanks for letting us know :PDT_Aliboronz_11:
I had to refresh the page, then it asked me to re-enter and that seemed to work. It should be less busier next time?Quote:

Mandy crashed the site by opening too many tabs! lol. :)
All your fault...
haha ....it was everyone elses fault trying to get on while I was on :Colorz_Grey_PDT_16:
Ha fair 'nough....I think I've seen you at the checkout in Asda before, barging your way in there, three shopping trolleys full... and chocolate all over your face. lol. :)
Only kidding Mandy. Thanks for the link...I found all grandparents, and have a sore neck from tryin' to watch the footy at the same time.
:PDT11
That is a good idea, I will try that next time, also I will get on much earlier and be ready!Quote:

Perhaps OH was right !, about England "not really playing" :sad:....the only thing I managed to find out was my GGgrandmother was in the workhouse age 69 in 1911, sad so sad !Quote:
