because everyone who has a .co.uk has first crack and up to five years to register it. so if its taken in .co.uk, its taken in .uk for at least the next five years.

They are reserved for current owners of .co.uk (and other UK extensions) for 5 years.
So try again in 2020

Amazon.co.uk has rights on amazon.uk

And so on............ Its a nice short extension but its fucking annoying that a UK ADDRESS is compulsory.

Just tried to reg a couple of corkers but alas no joy

5 years is a tad too long 6 months would be more appropriate imo.

.uk should have been from the start, like the majority of countries who don't have the extension like a second level domain.

Exactly......... totally TOO LATE.

Who wants .co.uk when you can have .uk

Apart from anything else .co.uk is totally inefficient as its so easy to mistype
