When you use the international version, you get adverts.

Are you on a 3 dongle?

IIRC in the past it has cause me problems by not being recognised as being in the UK, so you get a different page and less videos as they can only show them in the UK.

WHS, but not just 3 - my O2 dongle sometimes goes through Germany, which is exceedingly annoying on sites that use IP location to automatically switch languages

A friend of mine works at a company down in Milton Keynes, but the company's gateway is in Madrid so they keep getting stuff in Spanish

if you navigate to a page that has a video, e.g. one of Benitez guaranteeing that Liverpool will finish 4th, you'll probably get a message that says it's only available in the UK.

Obviously to stop the Spaniards laughing uncontrollably at one of their own, rather than not having the rights.
