Aha! That was the vital clue. Thank you.

I was trying to style news.bbc.co.uk but in their redesign, they
redirected me to www.bbc.co.uk/news/

Once I started applying my CSS override to the right site, parts of it
started working. I didn't manage to expand the with of that main DIV,
but I did manage to reduce the font-size of the links in the menu, so
that was all I needed.

Well, there is no "Arts" showing here either and we regularly
thrash you at almost every sport.

What a dreadful abortion is this BBC site. The developer seems
not to understand the simplest things.

They may not understand the simplest things (that's my forte) but they
understand enough about the harder parts to baffle me.

You're welcome.

#blq-main has an absolute `min-width' and #content-wrapper has an absolute
`width' declared, and they are related `#blq-main #content-wrapper'.
Further, #full-width, #now, #best, #related-services, #news-services,
#news-related-services, #blq-mast, #blq-foot, and
#personalisation-panel-auto-suggest all have an absolute `width' declared.
(It really cannot get much worse than that.)
