Are there any websites that are much more widely used in the UK than in America?

2. Gumtree

   The American equivalent is Craigslist I believe.

3. Dogging websites

4. BBC isn’t a newspaper or government website.

5. Weighwatchers

6. The National Lottery

7. Probably anything ending in .co.uk

8. Game sites. I play a number of UK-based and European-based web games. The UK TV sites for accessing BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Five content. I’ve got my grocery site open, which is UK-based only. I’ve got UK genealogy sites open, some appliance and small device shopping sites, betting sites, and horse racing results, football sites for my club, some UK forums that aren’t international like Reddit. The only things I’ve got open in common with Americans is email, Netflix (the GB version), Reddit, Amazon (the UK version), and Google (the UK version).

9. Gov.uk 😂

10. amazon.co.uk

    You could take a look, but the shipping may be a lot.

11. Google.co.uk

12. BBC Goof Food. Because American food is shite.

13. What sort of sites do you mean? Because obviously there are loads of sites that are UK specific, from shops that aren’t in the USA (e.g. Tesco, Marks & Spencer), sites about UK transport (train, bus, companies), electricity, water – anything that’s specific to the UK or a shop or service in the UK won’t have American traffic.

14. Thetrainline and other transport sites, Booking.com, Premier Inn and Travelodge, Tesco and other supermarkets…

15. Most websites which end in .co.uk I would hazard a guess

16. [autosport.co.uk](https://autosport.co.uk)

    Motor sport magazine with a big focus on F1. Most of the forum users are British (and the majority are obnoxious Lewis Hamilton fanboys).
