hmmn, how long has this been up? no longer UK pages and Google UK, it's English pages and Google English. Not sure the Scots and Welsh will be too happy. Surely Google can't literally mean pages from England only?

also, seems to be no UK sites only button. do they now mean all web pages in englsh. my search for "fishing holidays" returns pages in australia?

Still says page from the UK for me. No problems. And no, the page isn't cached.

Is this possibly just your language selection - so that it is now only searching pages in the English *language*?

Did you change your toolbar settings to English pages only recently? :)

I've not changed anything on my Google settings. First time I've been back to it since yesterday when it was working fine. It's not got my 'display 30 results' option on though, it's back to the default 10. now it's all back to normal.

maybe my dial up went a bit weird for a while, and lost the cookies or something?

i've seen the google english before as well. definitely not the same as google uk. i think i was checking out google IPs at the time. it was a few months back now so can't remember exactly how i found it.

If you use the langauge tools, [google.com] you'll see how the "English" option works.
