No problem. I do pop in there occasionally. I've only very very old CB rigs, though I modified my Superstar SS3900 to do most of 10m, which here makes it illegal to use to transmit on CB, but still legal for receive, because the Comreg rules that ANY transmitter used outside of Amateur bands must have CE (consumer stuff) or ETSI (professional broadcast gear). Ham gear can be modified, but any ETSI or CE marked transmitters lose certification if modified. Hence while many Amateur UHF rigs can do 446 MHz, it's illegal except in USA that uses a different band for Family Radio and 446 is probably in their Ham band. Even if it's a 1W only rig as it's not certified.
Additionally the UK CB band is mostly Community Radio here which must use CE marked gear and have a licence. Mostly used by churches. The lower CB band is the official CB band here.
