Yes but there is a postage charge of £20, so the cost is still over £90, even after the discount.

Yep. Got fed up with the pop-up box when ever I accessed the site.

Ancestry are doing a 25% discount on their DNA package. If anybody's interested, the offer ends tomorrow (26th May).

I know there's been some debate on the value of these DNA tests.
