Glad it worked.

If KK has Virgin Media, they have there own Cache, and this can also cause a problem delaying the latest pages from a website.
There is actually a little known "super refresh" for IE, that not only refreshes the local cache copy, but forces a bypass of any ISP cache, and orders a fresh page retrieval.
This should be less of a problem now, as Virgin Media has been phasing out those cursed Inktomi servers that cause this problem, but they are one HUGE pain in the a$$ when they refuse to recognise that a page has changed on a particular website.
