This was exactly the problem and happened consistently returning not only Turkish websites first on the list but also doing so with Turkish language computer button labels - for News, Images and so on. I've now put Google UK on my bookmarks toolbar so will be OK as long as I remember. I still suspect there is a Tools option somewhere that allows you to turn off the geographical detection facility and remain with original (UK) identity - but I am not talking about UK TV here.
