Are there any other ABers who use the Ordnance Survey view in Bing Maps? I use it a lot when trying to solve the Sunday Times Where Was I? puzzles.

Also strange is the fact that when zooming in/out the tiles that are shown/missing change:

The problem is apparently with OS's servers, rather than with Bing's. It's been reported and is being looked into.

The problem has been fixed, now working properly again!
all I know is that you can read bing maps backwards now. In my book, that means spam.
