Re: redirecting HTTP to HTTPS

Searched for the Beefeater site yesterday and google gave a http link which didn't redirect to https once on it which I thought was odd for this day and age.

To view a menu it wanted my postscode and while it's not the end of the earth for that to be sniffed, it felt too dirty to post it over http so I had to manually change it to https.

My name was a good few years of nagging at el register to https up and it took google to start giving horrible chrome messages and lower search engine ranks to http site before it was changed. Anyone company not using https now should be considered lazy and not fully competent imo.
