Yahoo UK sooo slow!!

Hi All,
I've been trying to access my Yahoo.uk email from Japan as usual but from last night (23rd) it's too slow and "Times out" . Last night I thought it was my computer but this morning I've used a few computers at work and all the same. I even thought maybe my email account had gone loopy due to a sudden rash of junk mail (can this happen?) so I thought I'd try opening a new account and see if I could connect to that but the new account sign up service also timed out The pictures on the home page also aren't downloading and news stories time out when clicked on
What gives? Is anybody else having problems or is it just me here in Nipon?
Probably those North Koreans doing something tricky

 

Well, I got my answer.
For any one interested Yahoo have posted an apology for a power outage on the UK homepage which caused the loss of service.
