The time bar seems to suggest that it is only two seconds long but it is obviously more than that. I can't seem to scroll through it on my system to find out if anything comes later. Guardian got things screwed up again? |

If they really think I am going to wait for 30 secs or so just to watch one of their videos they have another thought coming. |

I'm running AdBlock. I got the impression from what Clive wrote that the video was the Ad. With the bit you wanted to watch tacked on the end. |

I see the duration given as 1m 17secs and that's what it runs for me.
But it's not really the disaster they're saying it is, surely? It's pretty clear that the pieces are fixed to some sort of backing sheet - and indeed how else could they have hoped to move it to Sandringham? - and that a relatively small number have become detached in the fall. It's an impressive feat, all the more so for being so essentially pointless. |
