We mostly say dot com.
Most major UK businesses - both UK-facing like Tesco or M&S and globally-oriented operations like BP, the Economist or Flanneruk Worldwide Enterprises - actually use .com or .net, rather than .co.uk. Organisations sometimes reserve .co.uk or .org.uk for their purely UK domestic operations - but people like Oxfam use .org for their prime worldwide site.
We often also have a .co.uk registration to protect ourselves against cybertheft. But it's the .com/.net we present to the world and that gets most traffic.
As a general rule, only public-sector organisations (.gov.uk or .parliament.uk) and academe (.ac.uk) routinely use the .uk suffix. And not always even there. It's britishmuseum.org and nationalgalleries.org
