        Here is the response.

        I sent back:

        We have now requested that all personal details relating to your account be removed. Please bear in mind that you will no longer have access to your order history. Should you wish to re-open an account in the future you would be able to use the same email address but lose access to any previous orders.

        If you require any more assistance or information please feel free to contact us further and we will be more than happy to assist."

    Guess what - I CAN STILL LOG ON, and see my order history, contact addresses, reminders etc.

    Omnishambles!

    P'wah ha ha ha ha haahh.

    Honestly, I'd never heard of this site until I saw this article today.
