UK Apple Store is DOWN

We wait for the results with breathless antici.. wait for it, wait for it ...pation. Let us know if you see anything new, exciting and British when the store returns. Like the iCrumpet or the Royal with Cheese.

Thanks to Joe B.

Update: Swedish, German and Norwegian stores down too.

Some of the comments here give me the heeby-jeebys. Talk about giving us Brits a bad name - how humourless can you get? Taking offence at iCrumpet, or correcting Royal with Cheese. Good grief!

Phil, the metric system came into operation in the UK nearly 30 years ago. I have never used pounds and ounces in my life (I'm 23) although that hasn't stopped the "Quarter Pounder" from being used and that "pint" you order in the local pub is measured in mililitres.

Mate, all our road signs are in miles, most people refer to their weight in stone and pounds, height in feet and inches, food mainly in onces pounds and pints, building supplies in inches, we not exactly the most metric country in the world!

I was shocked when I was in Chicago, and the guy in the bar thought our road signs were in kilometres per hour.

Over here in Blighty we have miles and hour, pounds and onces - and therefore 1/4 pounders with cheese. We also have the pound and pence - not the euro.

It's the frog eaters and dutch with the Royals and euros.

Erica,

I've always admired your posts, but think the attempt at humour was un-necessary, not even remotely funny and very out of date..

If you don't have the ability to be clever funny, please don't bother, after all, you don't see us brits posting funnies about fat americans...

ps. royale with cheese is a europe thing, not british... We're quarter pounders all the way...

Archion, you are a prime example of American ignorance. I might as well say that you're a fat inbred redneck who eats cheeseburgers for breakfast, because apparently you don't care.

Hehe, First bit of my news featured.


You cant even access the store now, takes you straight to a page not found page.

Surely something new is going to come out of all they're time wasting ;P
