// BBC News Width Adjust
// v3 25 May 2005
// Increases the width of the main text column of BBC News website stories. Useful for wider resolutions, ie. 1280 and above.
// Applies itself to BBC News text story pages - but not index pages as it makes them look naff.
// If you want the stories even wider, just change the two '800' figures.
// Post suggestions here: http://www.ianferguson.me.uk/greasemonkey.asp
