The getyourcoat.co.uk and free-dating.co.uk websites are personal projects of mine. I make the odd change/update when I have a spare hour or so.  If you wish to follow the development of the site, this is the place to be. It will keep you informed of the latest fixes and features.

If you wish to suggest a new feature, improvement or report a bug, please email me.
