The House of Commons isn't the UK Government -- it's the UK Parliament.

Times.co.uk is the wrong URL. I'm sure the people at The Times wish it was theirs though! http://timesonline.co.uk/

@Buxton etc.

I work for Woolworths in the UK so I know a bit about the history.

Woolworths UK was founded by the same Frank W. Woolworth who founded the Woolworths chain in the USA. He personally opened the first British Woolworths store in Liverpool in 1909.

However, UK-based operations evolved separately. Woolworths UK was bought out by a British company (which has since demerged) in 1981.

Confusingly, Woolworths in Australia has nothing to do with either the US or the UK companies!

There is a lot more info on this website about the history of Woolworths: http://museum.woolworths.co.uk/

Just a slight correction. As far as I know, only one MP's site (Boris Johnson's) was taken down -- although one of the other sites was that of a local councillor, Bob Piper.

No friends yet.
