What's your oldest .co.uk domain?

This kind of carries on from Grant's post from last year (Oldest UK domains), but I just realised that adg.co.uk (which I bought last year) was registered 02-08-1994 making it one of the oldest.

I've heard there may be inaccuracies with these dates, but I was just interested to see if anyone here has anything as old or older?

I doubt we'll ever know how accurate they are, but does anyone know what or how old the oldest .co.uk domain is?

I guess most of the older names will remain registered and sold rather than let go, but I know plenty of pre-Nominet domains do still drop.

There’s no real benefit in age, but it’s interesting to see what people have.

my oldest (according to the DAC) is july 95 - monaghan.co.uk, they were all hand reg back then, even got a phone call from Frontier Internet (my ISP back in those days) to confirm the domain was being registered for business purposes

Hoe do you get an accurate date?

Checked Coventry couk and got 'Registered on: before Aug-1996'

How can I find out more?
