According to Companies House the registered office was changed yesterday from 9 Bollin Mews Prestbury Macclesfield SK10 4DP England to 107-111 Fleet Street London EC4A 2AB.

I struggled with upload problems in August. I even pasted http headers identifying the non-responsive servers and so on I haven't tried since so I guess still not worth it. (Unfotunately I am a paying customer and in UK and on Linux, which apparently is not supported, not even using Firefox.)
"As things stand, the websites are still up, but they will shortly be handed over to the University of Oxford, which will presumably add them to the long list of domain names it holds and does nothing with in an effort to stop people profiting from its name."
Can't really see a problem with that.
I also note that the same outfit runs http://www.eu-arabstates.co.uk/
Presumably when they've finished with Greece, the EU can raise a case with WIPO...
