If you go to google.com, goto the settings. I think somewhere you can specify what google sites to search, and what to ignore.

But I don't think this will make Safari send its search to Google.co.uk though. It just tells it to give you sites in English.

By the way where in Suffolk are you?

It did it with google.nl automatically overhere.
Btw, nifty feature: when you search for something in the intern googlething, it is automtically the next search (command-F) you do.

Near Ipswich.

If you add "uk" to the end of the search, will it not just search uk sites? or does that not work. Damn I miss the google toolbar
