Where are you?

glasgow scotland

Lancashire

Wales

Sherwood Nottingham (not the forest)

DorothyGlamour, the post was not really asking people to reply with their location, but it is lovely to see how many are happy to give their area. We are a virtual community, friends, confidantes, advisers, jokers, sharers, and it doesn't matter where we are, but sometimes it would be useful/interesting to know a location.

East Hertfordshire

North Devon

Hampshire UK ?

I agree wholeheartedly with having our country next to our name. I've read so many posts where they say 'here it's blah blah whatever' and I have no idea where is 'here'? It doesn't seem to be the UK, and they have given some very interesting information about something in their country, but where on earth are they?

Lanarkshire, Scotland.

New Zealand. Sometimes I get very lonely. I find reading gransnet gives me a sense of belonging. So many of us in the same boat. I don’t agree with all opinions of course but I respect other Grans right to state theirs.

Love this site . Thank you everyone for being there

Hello ? Poppyjo!
We are never completely alone with Gransnet... there is always a kind and/ or helpful response. ?

SE London

Welcome Poppyjo. I am from Melbourne, eastern suburbs. Melbourne is very sprawly, covers 100s of kilometres and many different small towns. Where in NZ are you?

Wiltshire ??

East Sussex/West Sussex border on the South Downs. I can see the sea.

You could have your countries flag next to your name

South Wales

I emigrated from the UK nine years ago and now live in Richmond at the the top of the South Island in New Zealand. I love it.

Interesting how many people do not read the OP before adding their irrelevant tuppence worth.
Nancat I wholeheartedly agree. Some members don't think to tell us where they are located when it is hugely relevant to the discussion. Often it is not necessary to know but sometimes it is.
I suggest you report your post (which ensures gransnet HQ read it), state that this is your post and you would appreciate it if GNHQ considers your suggestion.

Flags, though pretty, are not as clear as abbreviations. For example NZ is not open to confusion but the NZ flag most certainly is.

gossamerbeynon, I would have guessed your place: I flirted with pollygarter as my GN name....

I like the anonymity of GN, so I don’t want to say exactly where I live as I’m a very private person, but suffice it to say I live in England. It would be interesting to know in which country other Gransnetters are living. I agree though, that kindness and empathy to others contributors should be universal. By the way, I love Gransnet and the range of subjects that crop up. I’ve been a member of GN since the summer of 2020 and it was quite a bit of a lifeline during the lockdowns and aftermaths of lockdowns. Thank you everyone for giving me a great deal of pleasure and information. I look at GN most days and always find something of interest.

So, for all of us living in the UK do we use ??, or do we use
??????? ??????? ??????? ??
Personally I'm English first then British but I know some do the other way round ?

Kent. I agree it could be useful to know, particularly the sort of questions which usually result in the answer visit a Solicitor.
