This is useful to get different information, or to see how you're ranking for certain keywords across the Atlantic. Well we had this problem recently and can share with you how to escape being redirected! You just need a short addition to the URL: enter "www.google.com/ncr" into the browser address bar... and Bob's your uncle!
