UK site -> West Europe
I've seen this problem on other sites too, bug 99289?

If you remove the loading of the stylesheet from the page then the site displays
correctly, running the stylesheet through the W3C CSS Validator gives:
Line: 184 Context : .prod
Parse Error - prod_headings { COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica,
Geneva, Swiss, SunSans-Regular; FONT-SIZE: 16px; TEXT-DECORATION: none }

By a process of elimination the part of the CSS that seems to cause the problem
is the following:
.leftbanners
{
    TEXT-ALIGN: center;
    WIDTH: 140px
}

Any ideas why?

might be related : they are using underscore in class names, which is forbidden.
quote from the CSS recommandation
(http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/syndata.html#value-def-identifier) :

#  In CSS2, identifiers  (including element names, classes, and IDs in
selectors) can contain only the characters [A-Za-z0-9] and ISO 10646 characters
161 and higher, plus the hyphen (-); they cannot start with a hyphen or a digit.
They can also contain escaped characters and any ISO 10646 character as a
numeric code (see next item). For instance, the identifier "B&W?" may be written
as "B\&W\?" or "B\26 W\3F".

there is an errata on this that allows this but this shouldnt be done anyway :
