At a guess I would say that is probably your ubr's default gateway private address - and the traffic is genuine local broadcast packets.
Try pinging it - if you can that would be futher evidence that this is, in fact, the explanation.
Edit : even better - do a tracert to cableforum.co.uk and see if this address is one of the first hops.
