We are redirected to a 'help' page, which is where that 'We're sorry but' message appears. | ||

On mainstream pages they manage it with scripts. There was a big fuss a year or two ago when they redesigned the news pages to suit the overseas audience, with layout designed to make spaces for the ads. Not seen by UK viewers who got white space. Greasemonkey scripts were produced to make the page look like it used to. They no longer work - so it looks like it has all been re-coded recently. | ||
