Aaah, very interesting... and clever.

Thanks Mike and Alan.

I wonder whether it's a hiccup or some sort of cookie / setting.

I note that sometimes Google will send you off to a pre-defined version or country based on this.

If you go to http://www.google.com/ncr - it will stop detecting your location and go straight there.

So nobody reckons my Linux server has been hijacked then?
