    As to what is on their website, I'm not in the UK, so they have priced it in Euros.

    By clever (well, not that clever) web page code that knows which country the browser is running in.

    Try clicking on bbc.co.uk when you are abroad
    It automatically defaults to bbc.com

    It's the DNS servers. Nifty is using a provider abroad and their DNS servers.
    I get UK results even with a VPN for example.

    Remind us...why does anyone need to convince you?

    Do you imagine that I Photoshopped the page in order to post it?

    You aren't paranoid...they really are out to get you....

    The labels on the underneath of the laptop have fadded and the only part number I can find is in the instruction booklet.
    MU.AJS00.016-RN.
    Or there is a model number ICL50

    I have everything at hand for when you are ready for the clean install. Firmware update and install media.
    Have you saved your important data elsewhere? Are there any programs that you would need to reinstall, such as Office?
