A request to everyone using this site.?

I am pretty clued up on a lot that goes on in the UK. But it is nigh on impossible in a lot of cases to know whether the question being asked is relevant to the UK. Different laws etc. apply to almost all countries.

So please could everyone get in to the habit of saying where they are from.

Wow I certainly started something with this. Thanks to everyone who has posted a response and those who might still do so.

In answer to Reggie's question. I was actually named after the patrant saint of seamen - and actually spent 8 years at sea. However although there is irish in me - going back a number of generations - I was born and bred in England.

Absolutely spiffing good idea old chap! Well I'm off to make myself a pot of Earl Grey and a buttered scone followed by a game of crochet on the lawn. Can't have too much to eat old boy. Having tea with The Queen tonight! But if you think I'm going to reveal the fact that I'm a UK citizen, you can jolly well think again!

By gad you tricked me...that was cunning!

Ta-ta old bean!

I shouldn't think it matters as this is supposed to be the UK answers page.

There are other pages for other countries, is there not?

In the early days of this site I suggested that next to the avatar should be a flag of country of origin of user, ignored, but your thoughts are not new, ok.

Here here!

To much of the "go to your local county courthouse" or "that's a federal issue" or "it's the Xth amendment to the Constitution" when someone's trying to find out the law as it affects them in Basingstoke.

Well i agree with Churchill - each question should have a flag attached! Its ridiculous when you ask a question and people say oh use such and such and its a product you cant get in UK (which is where i am from!)

Disclosing one's country - Brilliant!

This is especially important for questions dealing with local geograpy and local issues. Especially since most Americans are geograpically clueless.

No, i'll stick to the Yahoo rules if thats OK with you.

If you post on the UK and Ireland site, then i'm going to assume you've from the Uk or Ireland.

The rules do say that if you have a question that is specific to a country you should post in that coutnries site - its simple.

If someone chooses to post or read "all English" language questions and answers then they get the global view - its up to them.

It is annoying when people don't follow the rules though, so i share your frustration....particularly with our North american friends who continually answer question in UK and Ireland and then claim they are answering on a US site....they select "all english" questions. Being told to go to Home Depot/Sears or check my zoning rules is not the most useful advice.

"Theearlybirds" answer is a good enough reason to stick with Uk and Ireland questions.......

Sounds like a good, international idea.

i totally agree! however i think its funny that people ask how far is it to.... and that sort of questions when they don't tell where they live.

BTW i live in the Netherlands (not that it matters now)
