Stut:

I can understand:

Travel >> Holidays

Because the user moves to the "Holidays" page from the "Travel" page. In fact, there's no way to get to the "Holidays" page other than from "Travel" page and thus a good reason for leaving a bread crumb trail.

But what's the point of having UK >> Motors? Aren't they on the same level?

It's likewise with your other examples.

What's the rational behind showing two bread crumbs when one will do?

One won't do, they're very different. The UK breadcrumb links to uk.freeads.net and the Motors crumb links to motors.uk.freeads.net - two very different pages. In addition to that, UK is the level above regionalised sites like aberdeen.uk.freeads.net.

The UK breadcrumb is the equivalent of what most sites would call Home. We don't call it that because Home on the Aberdeen site is one level below the UK crumb.

Hope that makes sense.
