Test and win... your help appreciated!

It would be a HUGE help if you could take a little time to look at the site and work through the scenarios below.

Inspired by Shannon's scavenger hunt, at the point where the information can be found there's a letter to download... rearrange the letters to give the name of Miles from Stison's favourite food*.

The names of everyone who emails me with the right answer will be put in a hat. We'll do a draw in coffee break on Friday 1 June to win a £10 voucher for Murray's on Park Row.

Bonus points will be given to anyone who can tell me Alex from Stison's and Chris from BluInc's favourite snacks... one answer is hidden on the BUP landing page, the other on the PP one.

Please make a note of your findings and ANY glitches, broken links, mistakes, other thoughts on this Word document (print outs also available if you find is easier and faster to scribble). This will tell us whether the navigation on the website is allowing users to find what they need.

Good luck, and thank you.
