oh my god how much money... some milions just for domain?

Great News, the UK government has done alot of the past months to raise recycling awareness and I believe this is a major reason the name sold for such a high price.

The government have recently done things like issue special bins for recyclable goods only and have advertisements on television ect.

All in all a good thing.

I believe a NP member owned it...

Interesting read, but well done to the previous owner.

The rev potential on this name is unlimited so yes it worth the buying price,

Also interested to see Sainsbury's fork out the wedge they did for taste.co.uk, have they got plans for a new site!!!

If a member of NP did own it then even better.

Isn't Sainsburys' slogan "Taste the difference"?

Hooray! At last .CO.UK is getting the credit it deserves. I feel that it is such a prestigious domain extension.

It is such a Fierce market and no one realises the potential for names such as this.
