there are an awful lot of interesting little tweeks that can be
carried out in about:config  Try scrolling down to the search engines
line(s)  You can change the default US Google to UK Google.  Not much
in the great scheme of things but it does at least mean that you are
presented with a UK specific search to start with.  I've also been
told that tweaking pipelining can help with download speeds.  I will
find out the file and post it up here.
