The ratio of Google.co.uk to Google.com traffic within the UK

What’s the ratio of Google.co.uk to Google.com traffic within the UK?  I have been searching for the answer to this question for weeks now.  I have conducted exhaustive searches on Google (which took all of 10 minutes) I even posted a question within the Google Support Forums and now at last I have found some data that goes some way to answering the question.

From experience I know that most UK based users are redirected to Google.co.uk by default, but I also know of other UK based users who have been using Google.com.

Finally my question in the Google Support Forums has lead to an answer supplied by Hitwise.

And the answer is:

Google.co.uk 73.74%
Google.com 13.77%
uk.search.yahoo.com 2.94%
www.uk.ask.com 2.80%
live.com 2.20%
search.msn.co.uk 1.21%
search.yahoo.com 1.13%
search.orange.co.uk 1.05%
search.msn.co.uk 0.31%
www.ask.com 0.16%
