that's right, type in www.co.uk and up appears Woolworths, is it something to do with W's ? I guess it's a bit more technical than that ....

www.com used to be part of internet.com...

They must have sold it or something...

Yep, they bought it like anyone else would with a Domain :)

Names arn't actually www.whatever.co.uk, just whatever.co.uk, so www.co.uk is a valid Web Address ... be it an odd one :)

www.com is also gone, to a music site I believe.

Because they bought it?

People will go there by accident or otherwise, people will see their website, people might buy things.

Makes sense to me.

Brilliant! As usual the careful and intuitive production that Freeola puts into everything it sets out to do, I am delighted.
