yeah but after he was using it for some time.. but its like he said: he doesn't own that email address though he thought he did. I went through this a few years ago, and I got a domain instead, which I do own.

I also get this, is it because they have adverts on the page and the BBC is somehow not allowed to show adverts in the UK? I wonder what actually prevents them just showing the page without adverts to UK readers, rather than showing the pla
