« on: Saturday 13 December 25 16:40 GMT (UK) »
I keep getting this message when trying to access the site.

Anybody any ideas please?

Thanks, Pheno

I'm not getting the message. (I use Firefox - but have also just tried it on Chrome - got straight through on both).
Places of interest;
Lancashire, West Yorkshire, Southern Ireland, Scotland.

Are you using a saved link? They may have changed their website.

Sorry only just seen these responses - I don't get notifications any more.

I can't seem to ignore the Not Safe message as it blocks access.

Yes I am using a saved link so will try from scratch.  Using Microsoft Edge as browser and up till now have not had any problems.

Thanks, Pheno

It is the GRO website having an out of date Security Certificate which is picked up by the Browser that you are using.

I had problems with it the other week with the Safety Certificate message using Chrome on a Mac, I could get into the site one day and not the next.
