Maybe you ought to offer to sell it to them? Or rent it to them or
provide an email forwarding service on a cost per email basis, say 1p
each. "email" being anything sent to that domain and forwarded, spam
and all. B-)

Then my domains were registered at a trusting time too, and my name and
address and email address are still there for anyone who trawls the
whois register ..

Depending on the use of the .co.uk domain you can be a "private
individual" and withold your details. Can't (shouldn't!) do that for
a domain used commercially.
