Streetmap curiosity

Today, the highest detail level is giving a patchwork of map tiles, half
from the most recent map and half from the previous one... the colouring is
different, so it is easy to tell which tiles are newer and which are older,
particularly if the boundary between new and old runs through Euston
Station. Every time you hit Refresh (F5) you get a different selection, and
the two coloured halves of Euston swap around.

Even if you hit Refresh multiple times? Maybe it's a caching problem at
Demon.

As this is the first post you've made on the subject, I would I know that
this is your first visit to the site? I don't do telepathy. As none of the
other posters have indicated that this is their first visit, I was simply
making a suggestion. Regardless of browser or number of refreshes, I don't
see the symptoms that are reported.
