Footnotes

These features cover nearly a decade during which there were huge changes with web standards and video encoding. The first feature, for example, pre-dates You Tube and Flash! So don’t be surprised to find quite a few files which your computer or browser can’t play properly. Regrettably, UKFR is not able to help individual readers with video or image difficulties due to the sheer range of possible system set-ups, but do try the help page and if you still cannot play a video feel free to ask questions in the UKFR forum.

Because UKFR is run on such a tight budget, some of the larger video clips in more recent features are marked as UK only. This is because it is not economically viable due to bandwidth costs to offer these clips to every visitor nor to spend time re-encoding and uploading to You Tube. Should UKFR be in a position where such costs can be supported, these clips will of course be made freely available to everyone.

Please remember that regardless of their age, all of these features (and in fact all content on this site) are copyright, either to UKFR.COM or one of its contributors. All rights are reserved.

UKFR would like to conclude this blast from the past by thanking everyone who contributed to, or helped with, these features.
