At the moment my website is visible with the www. prefix and without
(http://www.geoffsoper.co.uk and http://geoffsoper.co.uk), is there any
way I can divert people requesting
http://geoffsoper.co.uk/anything_at_all to
http://www.geoffsoper.co.uk/anything_at_all using directives in
..htaccess files? I have mod_rewrite available to me.

Thanks,
Geoff

I've just done the opposite with my website (I have a really short domain
name, and wanted to keep it that was so I can print it in tight spaces).
This trick (like below) worked for me with removing the www., so I've
reversed it to insist on the www. but not tested it. Try this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^geoffsoper\.co\.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.geoffsoper.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

If you insist on e-mailing me, use the reply-to address (it's real but
temporary). But please reply to the group, like you're supposed to.

First step: Ask your provider to route http://geoffsoper.co.uk and
http://www.geoffsoper.co.uk to the same IP.

Second step: Use mod_rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^geoffsoper\.co\.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.geoffsoper.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
