having your domain as .co.uk is obviously a good way to make external agents (like google) label you "UK space" - but be aware that your IP address (of your site) (which no one usually sees) is just as important - if it's in barbados, google or others may just put you down as barbados anyway, .co.uk or not.

That means uk sales expansion inside 48 hours. More profit, budget starts increasing straight away, you can make good money getting them sales.
OR you can spend more weeks doing "seo" and see if you can find a way to make the tiny increase in traffic look like a job well done (even if it's a job well done, it may really not look that way).
