Hi Benjamin
I've had a look around other parts of the asda site, and it would appear
from my reading that you need to create a fresh account for each online
store. What a pain! You are quite right about asda.co.uk being a domain,
that's very interesting indeed. For example, if you want cds and dvd
products, you need a new account for that store, same for the electircals
store, a new account there too. It would have been easier I would have
thought to create one account and then use the individual stores, but then
again, perhaps they really do need extra security measures in place for the
photoshop.

Just to clarify: asda.co.uk is not a URL it is a domain name:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name
With a large site like Asda's which has multiple signup points, giving
the domain name is not specific enough. You need a URL to a particular
area of the site, particularly if you need someone from the RNIB to look
into the matter.
