[BNM] new BBC website design

[Tom Dussek (Hotmail)]

How can bigger, more spaced text give you more eye strain?! How can all 
this extra space make things harder to distinguish? This is all 
subjective nonsense, and therefore no more valid than my suggestion that 
this is, at last, a site with loads of headings, info and general stuff 
which is laid out in a way that actually makes you want to read it.
