I had a sales call from a very nice lady at Thomson Local today enlightening me as to the undoubtedly excellent services on offer from the Thomson Local online business directory. Half way through the conversation she asked me if I was on-line, of course I was, so she pointed me to Thomson Local's business search website.

So I went on the internet and I found this...

Now, Internet Explorer is still the dominant web browser with something like 60% of the market, but that's 40% of the market this site is saying "go away" to. (Firefox, which I use, has about 30% of the remainder, Apple's Safari about 9% and Google's Chrome and the others about 1%. - these are top of the head figures I've read somewhere so don't quote me!)

There is no excuse for this. There are accesibility standards and websites should be cross browser compatible (so long as they are reasonably current ) and nobody should be telling their customers what browser they must use  - those days are long gone. Thomson Local need to sit down and have a serious talk with their business search website developers.
