[UK-CONTEST] Ofcom web site

Funnily enough, Dave - I tried that, but the javascript on the page
wouldn't let you download the PDF rather than displaying it in a new
browser window. I sneaked around it by using an old Win98/IE5 machine which
worked just fine.

Kept me amused for a few minutes whilst I worked out how to get my new
licence, anyhow..

I am puzzled by that line 'would process the .pdf,'. Your browser 
does not have to 'process' it only download it. Maybe you are trying 
to use the Adobe plugin to open it in your browser window, if so I 
can imagine there are issues with IE7. I ALWAYS save PDF files to my 
hard disk and let my PDF reader (Foxit reader as I refuse to have 
Adobe's current bloat on my machine) open it at my convenience.

But it seems there are all sorts of issues coming out of the woodwork 
with IE7. Glad to hear it works fine with Opera, the only browser I 
use these days. My license is not due for renewal till May anyway.
