Hi Makoto,<br>
<br>
Was afraid you might have the link details already, but thought I'd sent<br>
it anyway :)<br>
<br>
I previously used it to get some Barclays cycle hire information - didnt<br>
seem to be that tied down to ip addresses then, but it was a few years<br>
ago.<br>
<br>
That email address/person is not someone I know, but the latest mailings<br>
about their feeds come from it. The last email mentioned a technical Q&A<br>
session at their offices this month ... no date was mentioned, just said<br>
to reply to that email address for an invite.<br>
