Im trying to align my drop down menu, so that is aligned (a bit to the left) closer to the text in my navigation bar.

 

www.1pw.co.uk/navigation.html

 

Im not sure wether or not this aligned the way it is because of my css?

If it is can anyone explain what part of the code is responsible for the horizontal alignment?
