They latest is that pre open will be 2.10pm, and full trade 2.20pm. But by the looks of things that's just delaying tactics and they're nowhere near ready to reopen.
Sorry. Should clarify..... 2.10pm UK time. (9.10am NY time). That time has passed and it still won't let me in.... liars!!
Thanks for the heads up on the time. In response to the help desk number, good luck with that, its always busy during these times.
