Wilburforce, I agree that adding 'UK' to the homepage won't return the index page to the UK-page SERPs. It's more an act of desperation! I'm also inclined to agree with you that the current problems can be attributed to an algorithm that is simply flawed.
One thing I cannot understand however is why my site is fully and correctly indexed on the all following DCs (which I believe serve the UK), but whenever I search 'pages from the UK', the index page is nowhere to be found:

[64.233.167.104...]
[64.233.183.104...]
[64.233.187.104...]
[72.14.207.99...]
[64.233.183.107...]
[64.233.187.99...]
[66.249.85.107...]
[66.249.93.99...]

On an optimistic note, the .com which had been #1 for years - and which vanished at the same time as my own site - made a dramatic return to the UK SERPs last night, with a cache date of 08/09/06.

I live in hope.
