The website has been tranformed from one of the best to really horrid and difficult.
Strange ideas some people have.

I'm with Ba.

The IT director is now using a worse online version of the Ocado format - Why ?

Go and look again. I'm not sure, but it seems to have a lot more info than it did on Friday. I wonder if it was built and then uploaded in sections.

Is there an improvement?

I'm affraid not, insipid pale green font, tiny 6 point pale grey narrative on a very pale grey backgound

Painfull to the tired eye. An ebay style of listing in a tiny font. I run on a 22" screen, so I'm not talking about scale. The format has been changed so that the web pages do not fill the whole screen. What is the point of that format ? A bit like looking at an old movie on TV (without the quality of course)

Sorry Mel, sorry Waitrose.

A backwards step, No Fun At All to use.

Did Ba say Horrid ? That's what it is. On a mobile phone, probably dire.

Bring back the old JL format - Please

Have to agree with Dunc. Reminds me of the Sains site (remember that?) which was discontinued due to "lack of sales".
This lack of sales was simply because the site was virtually impossible to use.
With the old WR site I could order a mixed dozen in a couple of minutes. The new one I find such hard work that I shall not bother again to try.
