I imagine the Energy Saving Trust isn’t really used to more than 3 people visiting it’s website at the same time.

They probably thought the website people would make sure it could handle it before they knew what ‘it’ was.

I imagine they had no expectation that the the government would announce the voucher launch for a specific time and that it would be limited to 50,000 vouchers on a first come, first serve basis.

The jokes about cycling and poor infrastructure almost write themselves.
