Check date format used = 'dd month yyyy'

The format used for expressing dates on web pages should always be dd month yyyy - for example 11 May 2004.

This is because web sites are an international medium and confusion can arise when numerical date formats are used - this particularly applies for American audiences. Similar issues arise where numerical suffixes such as 21st (or 21st) are included.

On our web site the date format used should always be day/month/year.
