As far as I can tell, (I didn't really check, but your email implies this)
you are in the uk. Internic control registrations for .com .org .mil .gov

(actually I think some of those are conrolled by some .mil ppl, but who
cares as they aren't going to give you any space under .mil or .gov
unless, as a side note, quite unfairly you would have to be part of the
US government or military (note the US bit))

So, if you want to register a .uk name you need to talk to nic.uk
Well, this is what I assume you're doing, or trying to do.
If not, then it might be best to let people know what name you really do
want and then it would be easier to find out who you need to talk to 
about it.
