Technically it ought to be .GB , however it is one of the oldest out there so in 1985 the longer term use of domain names was not entirely known.

For .uk you can have .co.uk , .ltd.uk , .me.uk , .org.uk etc

It is interesting to read up on the history of .uk , .gb and nominet :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.uk
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.gb

Cheers,
