    Once upon a time...

    we all used to support Southend. We all had different ideas of who should play and different opinions on players ability but at the end of the day we could all meet up in a pub, on a train or coach or at a match and give our support for the lads in blue. We may not agree with each other, but...

    Hyperlinks

    It's been drawn to my attention that the elderly are struggling to spot hyperlinks. Would it be possible to change the way hyperlinks are displayed eg underline them, make them a more distinct shade of colour, have flashing lights etc? They've been through a lot (the Boer War, the Crimean War...
