'404 Page Not Found' or '500 Internal Server Error'

If youYou have come here because of one of the above errors , then please.  Please accept my apologies.  The two most likely causes are:

1. You are following a bad Uniform Resource Locator (URL), perhaps because it has been truncated by word-wrap, had spurious characters appended to it, or simply just been miscopied  - all three seem to happen quite often, especially the first;
2. The page you were seeking has outlived its usefulness and consequently either been replaced by an updated one with a different URL, or else removed altogether.
3. A scripting error internal to the site.

Either way, I hope you will be able to find what you are looking for in the Site Index or the Test Site Index.

Cookies

Unless otherwise indicated and described on a given, individual page, cookies are not used on this site.

GDPR

Visitor data is not tracked on this site except as follows …

• Pages involving maps use third-party services from Google and UK Ordnance Survey, and this site's owner has no knowledge or control over how these services track data, but the only information sent to them consists of a site ID with a request for geographic location data such as the latitude and longitude of a postcode or the graphics for a map tile; therefore, no tracking of individual visitors to this site is thought likely, and hopefully should not even be possible.
• Visitor logging data, such as URLs which for a few pages may include personal data such as postcodes, is kept by a third party site for a few days for compiling site statistics, before being overwritten automatically by new such data.  Further, very occasionally, if the site owner thinks that there may be a problem on the site, some of these URLs may be loaded into a browser to check site behaviour and help diagnose any errors.

HTTPS

Apart from a few 'example' pages, which depend upon third-party services, in the ProgScriptWeb section, all other pages on this site should function correctly using the secure communications protocol HTTPS.  Simply use https: at the beggining of a URL, rather than http:, to invoke this.

Javascript

Javascript is essential for pages involving calculations, conversions, or maps.  Elsewhere, it is used cosmetically (if it isn't running, things will work, but look less good), for example, to improve clarity on some pages by allowing more detailed content to be shown or hidden by the visitor  -  in such cases, all content is shown if Javascript is disabled.
