Stale web caches at orange broadband?

I've suspected this a problem before, as pages I know have been updated
haven't been visible to me, but I've never seen it this bad before

Going here at around 13:15
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cric...nd/6973675.stm
I saw the score in today's cricket was 50-0. Next time I refreshed it
was 33-0. Next time I refreshed play hadn't started!
This is deffo the right page, cos it's linked from the crciket home page
here
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/

Other pages still seem to be yonks out of date too, e.g.
The scorecard page
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cric...recard/default
..stm> has been showing 127-1 for some time now and the in-vision
scorecard
<http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/sport1/shar...ision/html/in_
vision1.stm>
hasn't updated from Old Trafford

Has anyone had similar experiences to me before? I wouldn't mind
comments from orange and non orange users alike, because I am finding
this extremely frustrating - not just for the cricket, but the other
pages I have suspected in the past, but haven't seen the changes for
days

Cheers

Have you tried holding down the control key and clicking refresh. On some
browsers this sets a header that asks the cache to reload from the origin
server. Some caches downgrade this to a check for an update (which may
still help), or ignore it completely. These pages aren't supposed to be
cached at all, so ignoring client refreshes as well would be pretty bad.

I did yes (or used Control-F5 which is my preferred method as I am more
of a keyboard person in situations like this). I didn't have time to
try this out during today's match
