As the former holder of yahoo.org.uk, I can also confirm that ordinary people don't understand the difference between .org.uk and .co.uk.

Like many countries, .UK had a second-level set of categories for different types of organization. There's also .net.uk, .sch.uk, .ac.uk, .gov.uk, .nhs.uk, .mod.uk, .police.uk, ...
.AU, .NZ, .JP, .MX, .BR, .TH... it's not uncommon.
