Default Yahoo.co.uk - why is my site doing better in All The Web?

A few of the sites I webmaster have got into Yahoo's web listings recently but they are all doing much better in 'search All the Web' rather than 'UK sites only' - sometimes as extreme as position 11 in 'All the Web' & position 360 in 'UK sites only'. All the sites are .com but hosted and registered in the UK.

I have been advised to email Yahoo requesting they amend their records but I don't find anywhere I can email for normal free to submit web results (I've found emails for the directory & for paid listings only).

Can anyone help me what to do?

If it is to do with the addresses being .com - is it worthwhile submitting the .co.uk version to Yahoo? - even though it is exactly the same as the .com homepage because the URL is pointed to the homepage of the .com site.

Thanks everyone.

Yahoo determine this algorithmically, so there are no records to amend.

Submitting won't help - Yahoo (like Google) crawl the web finding sites via links. If you have a .co.uk and a .com version of the same site, you might be pinged with a penalty.
