I love Gransnet, but read more often than post. You can always find useful information, fun, sympathy, so many things on the forums. I also understand the preference for anonymity, but as legalities, customs etc vary so much from Country to Country, wouldn't it be a good idea to include the Country in the Poster's information? Nothing more specific, just UK, FR, AUS for example. It wouldn't identify the poster, but would indicate if advice etc given was relevant to where the OP is located. It would also be interesting to see how different the responses are depending on which Country you are from.

Not many have answered the question of the OP which is wouldn't it be a good idea to include the country in the poster's information. In fact about 15 out of 52 have answered so far. I'm afraid the title of the thread has misled them.

I have a vague idea that posters' on the Good morning thread used to mention their location. Am I right in thinking that? To answer the OP., yes I think it's helpful and interesting to have an idea of where posters' live. But, if a poster prefers not to say, that's fine.

I am not sure about this idea. There was a somewhat hysterical and deeply unpleasant post on the thread about Meghan Markle towards an American poster. Responses like those may put off others from giving that information.

Just to say, that was one person, and when someone shows discrimination against a country or race then other grans quickly step up and give them a telling off. I don't think anyone need worry about their country being shown. But if that is deemed a problem then maybe give people the option of showing it? In your profile you could say yes or no.
