      This is probably one of the top 5 domains you could own in any extension, so this will actually show how worthless .me.uk is since the .co.uk would probably clear £250,000 comfortably if it were to come up for sale so we're talking about tiny fractions of 1% of the value of the equivalent .co.uk!

      I think it helps if the word(s) suits / is ideal for the extension.

      For example, I've got

      footballer.me.uk

      which I think is perfect for this extension.

      I think its about time values increased!

      Public awareness is very low, probably very, very low.

      Future prospects are / should be outstanding.

      I don't care if they don't go up in value as long as they keep earning like they are ;)

      I very much doubt it, apart from a couple, most must surely be worthless.

      ".me uk is on the up " ?

      Only for those living in another dimension, We have a deflated co.uk market. .org.uk can barely raise a smile for seller or buyer. But .me.uk is a winner _ Go figure

      Oh dear... Jobs.me.uk transferred into the name of a limited company.

      Registrant is a tag holder too, they should know the rules. :)

      It's beyond me why Nominet allow these to be reg'd to anything other than registrant type: Individual. Can't be that hard to implement surely.
