I know someone who knows Mike Butcher at Techcrunch UK so I'll pass it on to him. One thing I'd say about the release is we might want to mention non-UK places too, it mentions Brighton and pubs of England. There's the wikiguide of Paris too isn't there which might be worth a mention? I'll pass it on as-is though, it's a minor point.
