Search Engine tech question

Picture the scene. I own the domain names purpletigron.com and purpletigron.co.uk and I have my Web presence set up on .com

Then a fan tells me that they can't find my Web site with Google - turns out, they're using google.co.uk and setting 'pages from the UK' and searching for 'purpletigron' ... and I'm nowhere!

But I have got purpletigron.co.uk set up to re-direct to the .com site in what I was told was a 'search engine friendly way'.

So why isn't Google spidering under purpletigron.co.uk so my fan can find me with that perverse search of theirs?

Advice gratefully received :-)

I could give a fig!

N has sent me a baby fig tree!

It comes with a closely typed page of instructions. I'm not very good at following such detailed instructions :-)

Has anyone reading successfully had a bush-trained fig (Brown Turkey variety) fruit in a city in the South of England? How did you manage it?
