The only Business UK fares on UK Dom are J and Y.

C and D class fares are in the UK Domestic Hierarchy (these are business class codes in Europe and Long haul but not on UK Dom and show up on Trip Adviser as "Business Class" - but if you click through to the ful description it actually says "Business Class Execpt UK Domestic" ).

I don't even think that I class or R class are in the UK Dom fare hierarchy - unless the Domestic is sold as an add on to an I or R class Club World/Europe fare in which case the system tickets the UK Domestic portion in J which is Business UK.

Sound to me that if it didn't print "Business UK" on the BP - that you have bought a lower fare class - say H - and interpreted the "C" on the boarding pass to signify Business UK - or they have started selling I class fares on UK domestic - but in the same way as C and D are not "Business UK" neither is I Class on a pure domestic flight.
