it’s the ME site that has the problem – both of the ‘support our partners’ links refer back to this thread !

The certificate is indeed out of date (13 April 2022) and also self-signed. Which is not necessarily evil, but it's a bit like writing your own character reference

I ordered two items of tooling from Cowells earlier in the week. I spoke directly to Colin on the phone.

Later my iPad told me it was trying to impersonate the Cowells website and the I should shut down my iPad and then log back onto it. I imagined someone had hacked the Cowells website.

It wasn’t me, gov.
