Hi Mike. Nice webs. Could you please tell me should I post any glitches I find in the glitches forum or the bugs/glitches forum. I don't want to be banned for posting in the wrong section. Thanks.

Couple of things...
The header is a bit ugly... The same image over and over again with text on top of text :/
There's a few typo's:
Thetford, UK or U.K. (both are valid, though U.K. is my preferred option as it's an abbreviation) as place names always start with capital letters, as do new lines.
"we will posta link"
The copyright symbol code (©) should be used rather than (c).

While Verne may sound like an ass in his post, he does have a point.
The overall design of the site and it's images just feels old and a little crude in places.
Running your site code through a validator (Tidy in this case) produced 43 warnings (errors Tidy can fix), including the use of proprietary tag attributes, empty tags and incorrect use of the ampersand character (you should use & when writing the ampersand as the actual symbol is used for special character display codes such as ©).
Advertising yourself as a company might not be the best idea as it's pretty clear that you aren't actually a company at all, you're just a group of hobbyists.
Freewebs \ Webs is horrible.

Side note:
Why do people still use .htm over .html when it only ever existed because DOS didn't like longer file extensions?
DOS has been obsolete for quite a while now and most modern clones and similar OS's support longer file names.

use of full-stops is virtually obsolete
