Thanks for the comments.

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.
