Hi Rob
> We will probably go for UniOfWestminster, which we you on YouTube etc.
Which is likely to be seen as 'uniofwestminster' - not so nice :-( (what's a
'unuiof'?)
I guess my institution could go for bathuniversity, bathuni, uniofbath, ...
I wonder how many institutions are likely to have name clashes? I know
there are a number of Open Universities.

I thought there had been a cut-off date.
