We're back in the UK. I've had a couple of media enquiries too.
The strange appearance was because the stylesheets weren't loading.

No, this is all wikis - I believe it was everything with *wikimedia or
*wikipedia. NL was acting up, as well as various WMF-hosted chapter wikis.
The search function will take a while to start working properly, too, for
the same reasons as Delirium states.

Richard, that is fine. But surely you can see that it's inappropriate to
have the BBC imply, on a day when we have an outage, that we're strapped
for cash to keep Wikipedia running, holding the site together with gaffer
