Even if such a requirement were announced any place on the home page (which it is not), how would it be verified or enforced? For example, If they meant "use an ISP based in the UK," that could easily be circumvented or spoofed; how to define and verify "residency"? And surely a UK citizen who happened to be domiciled outside the UK would not be excluded from use of the service? Requiring a UK mobile number would establish residency (more or less, and not infallibly), but they do not require any mobile number. So I repeat janusz' question -- what is the source of your assertion?
