"You've totally lost me. What possible good will that do you? Do you want to lose 70%+ of your traffic?
Please explain as the initial question was presumably about increasing traffic by becoming included in local UK searches"

The site 'targets' the UK, in that few people outside will have any interest in it. However, Google has chopped us from the UK index, so we are left with non-UK traffic only, which is pretty useless to us.

So basically, for us, if we can't get this sorted out, we will just chop Google altogether and save our bandwidth and so on. That will do everyone a favour. Yes, we'd like some APPROPRIATE visitors from Google, but fortunately we can live without them if there isn't a reasonably simple fix.

I am frankly suprised that they can get their pants in a twaddle with something as basic as this. Maybe someone there is just trying to be too clever, and has made a right mess of it. Who knows.

We've tried the en-gb language metatag, but no luck so far.
