It's been the same for years. Last time I ranted to them three years ago 
they told me that a redesign was planned.

Personally I've taken my business elsewhere. The WB^H^HVue cinema in 
Islington has good quality screens and sound systems, plenty of leg-room 
even if you're 6'4" like me, and larger popcorn portions. :)

It's not just that it doesn't work - the code is *appalling*. Also, in 
browsers where it does function, it's still a real pain to use, even for 
someone who doesn't have any disabilities. "Hover over this item here to 
make a description appear, then carefully move your mouse so as to avoid 
other items before you can click on link it the description." etc.

Yeah, that's correct. An excellent site though - some of the other 
accessible-reworkings are useful too.
