Most documents aren't valid for many reasons, and the validator isn't to 
blame for any of them.

You have markup like this structure:

<FONT><B>Y</FONT>...<FONT>.co.uk</B></FONT>

HTML must form a tree structure and cannot have overlapping elements 
like that.  Notice how the <b> element is opened within one font 
element, yet closed within another.  That is invalid, every element must 
be opened and closed within the same parent element:

<font>
   <b>
     ...
   </b>
</font>

You should also stop using presentational elements like <font> and <b> 
and avoid the use of the style attribute in favour of an external 
stylesheet.
