27.841 FM (UK FM CB Channel 25) is actually as busy as 27.781 FM.  Unfortunately there's enough Latin American taxi cab comms starting to come in that the AM mode land mobile comms QRM is becoming a thing, especially on 27.78125MHz

Plenty of in-band activity and SSB all over the place.  26.805 MHz FM active as well.   

UK paging pager signals POCSAG on 26.745 MHz, 26.705 MHz, 26.695 MHz, 26.350 MHz, 26.250 MHz and 26.200 MHz.
