| interesting stuff but there's the fact that many of the above were due to the com not being available and these companies didn't want to fork out big money for the com in the early days
for instance
dailymail.com is the Charleston daily mail
guardian.com is guardian global glass makers
i think all of these would gladly have bought the com if it had been available and a good few may well pay good money to secure the com - yorkshirebank.com is pending transfer right now - hmm wonder if its the result of legal proceedings as it's parked at sedo right now lol
I'm not slagging off co.uk as it is a very well established cctld and (as you mentioned) prominent with uk based businesses.
