the bloke i spoke to at the e.a said that company pay a lot of money to Google to be at the top of the page when searching said they make a fortune

Yup, this is how it happens. People need to be aware of it, so it's worth spreading the word. Facebook, Twitter, whatever. It's a really mean-spirited thing to make money out of.

Google must have changed the search, the .gov website is the first to appear on my google. :good:

And rod licence .co .uk doesn't even appear.

It's now 'www.onlinefishinglicences.co.uk' and they're still charging £45 for the senior.

My google search now looks like this...

.gov.uk is second and the correct price, but plenty of people won't get that far

I see the problem, I'm using an add blocker, so the top one which is an add is blocked
