The Times stuck in the past?

27th May 2010

The Times need to get with the times. Considering the profile of The Times, this is probably the worst website design and development I have witnessed in a long long time. I had to check the date to see if it wasn’t April 1st. Please sir, can I have some more? The new site suffers [...]
