Screen Reader

[Phillip Whiteside]

Hi Alex,

thanks ever so much for that. As I'm sure you realise, the robot testing is
only so good. Whilst I know that a site of engineers parts and drawings on
is not exactly a 'run of the mill site', if I can get that sort of site to
compliance I can say to to others that there is no excuse. I know I still
have more work to do on there, but at least I know I am making (slow)
progress :-)

Thanks,

Phill.
