Is it an accident? No, it's a wildcard subdomain

You're missing something here. The UK is a country that allows second-level domains e.g., co.uk, gov.uk, org.uk as well as just domains ending in .uk.

This organizations owns c.uk (so the who-is you should lookup is just c.uk.

What I find hard to believe is that ti looks like it was registered on: 10-Jun-2014!?

That's the date when they started allowing registration for top level domains (before they just allowed second level).

You need to own the .co.uk to get the .uk (at the minute), unless the .co.uk hasn't been registered.

That's a sensible practice. Thanks for the info!
