So, where are you all from?

[long final]

I have noticed that many private ppruners seem to be of a southern persuasion, so thought I would start a poll to get an idea where we all come from. It seems that many Northern questions get very few replies in comparison to the central/southern ones.

The area breakdown is just based on the fact I can only have five, so it’s a little general, and I missed Scotland & Ireland out, sorry.

Regards,
LF

[AerBabe]

You've also missed out the USA and Oz. Understandably. :)
Midlander here.

[Shaggy Sheep Driver]

God's own county - Cheshire. But I didn't vote 'cause I don't beleive it's in NW (that's Cumbria - Cumberland/Westmoreland as it should be- or maybe Lancashire). And everyone thinks the midlands is Brum.

"It's not at the bottom, and it's not at the top. But this is the county where I always stop".

with apologies to AAM

[Bre901]

I overheard once, a looooooong time ago, that, some people, when inebriated, might have mentionned the possible existence of inhabited territories, south of the English Channel.

Has anyone ever heard of such a foolish thing ? :D

[T_richard]

Hi Long final
If the continent I live on isn't mentioned in this poll, do I exist?

:D :D :D

Peace

[aidanf]

drats, no mention of the Peoples Republic of Cork - way down south in soggy old Ireland

[BRL]

I have just added two more options for you. Anymore upon request..... :)

Down south by the way...Ex Liverpool.....

[flyboy6876]

BRL

I would think that US / Canada, Oz, Africa would be fairly good options to add in.:)

[BRL]

Your wish is my command.........(to an extent.......) :)

[Kolibear]

Essex born & bred.

Please - no essex man jokes -not all of us wear white socks & drive clapped-out XR2i.

[Kermit 180]

See below, this wasnt included in the options either. Oh well.

Kerms :rolleyes:

[G SXTY]

White socks, moi? ;)

[rustle]

Nice divisive thread :D

What about options for those from Europe and the Asian sub-continent. Last time I looked at an atlas the pink bits were reduced in number, not increased :rolleyes:

[long final]

Indeed rustle, think I'll keep me 'ead down ;)

Big Red, thanks for adding the options, but did we really need Scotland??? :p :D :p

LF

[152small]

From Liverpool, now Essex because of job.

Its a close one in the teenage mother stakes between the 2! ;)

[paulc]

Hampshire - neither south east or south west - just south

[SuperOwl]

Yorkshireman here, and proud!

[Davidt]

Kolibear

Does your PA28 (or whatever) come equiped with furry dice?

Long final

Scotland is needed - to stop Cumbria fraying at the edges

I dont discriminate :)

[Circuit Basher]

Long Final - OI!! I 'eard that!!! ;) :D

Scotland exists to stop England from bumping into Iceland during the next Ice Age!! :D

[singaporegirl]

South East..........Asia

[maggioneato]

Wirral. Believe we are known as posh scousers. :D

[PFLsAgain]

South Yorkshire - but had to vote Midlands 'cos that's where I am now.

Always a northerner though.

[Aerobatic Flyer]

None of the above...

[Fly Stimulator]

L ,

Maybe you'd better add a line for the Kiwis too, especially since they claim that powered flight was invented in New Zild.

[long final]

There's more of the bu@@ers than I thought :p ;)

Having said that I've just come back from a week in Glen Prosen, wonderful part of the world.

LF

did I just admit that? :eek:

[HelenD]

This is a hard one for me as I am not sure which area I come under. Some people put Southampton in the South East while others put it in the South West. Another further complication is that I could well be moving to Scotland in a few months.

[EnglishmaninNY]

SE; Good ol' London to be precise. However, now in Long Island, New York, .... and not missing London all that much to be honest!...;)

[BRL]

Sorry NZ'ers, one just for you lot added. :)

[Ian_Wannabe]

North Wales - Windy, raining, blue skies - ..... does it only happen up here?!!?

:confused: :confused:

[flyboy6876]

Ah, thank you BRL, now I can at least answer :D

[Spiney Norman]

The North West...Oooo B***er, must go, the whippet's run off with me black pudding!!! ;)

[rotorboater]

There really should be a section for Yorkshire!

[eveepee]

South East...along with the other 43%:D

[Go-Around]

Does the Midlands and Wales account for everyone from Norwich to Anglesey and in between?

[Ian_Wannabe]

Yeah, I second Go-Around! :p

I was going to mention the same thing but I got scared when I thought of what undesirable positions Big Reds L could get stuck up my a** for complaining!! :O

[Bootlegger]

Sheffield United land, South yorkshire. ad (egnf):cool:

[AerBabe]

Can I have my Midlands/Wales vote repositioned to a new option of "People's Republic of Milton Keynes... And Environs."?

[Evo]

Another Suvverner here - none of this South East/West lark.

[GonvilleBromhead]

Wayne Rooney Land ! All hail......:D

[bpilatus]

As uausal in this country there is no notice of other country for me to put my voting

what a arogant country will think of no other one :mad:

[Go-Around]

I would then have to count myseld as a citizen of "The People's Republic of Milton Keynes... And Environs."

Shame really, the Midlands sounds better!

bpilatus, have you been sniffing lemsip again?

[Timothy]

following bpilatus' post, can we vote for where we think people should go as well ;)

W

[maggioneato]

WC. How apt. Don't be so unkind to bpilatus. :p

[Deeko01]

Gid auld Glesga (Glasgow to the southerners!), keeping the saltire flying high!

[Capt BK]

Must confess to being a Yorkshire lad myself, East Yorkshire to be precise but as we're the little bit thats stuck on the other end of the M62 it's probably not worth adding it:D :D Definately not NE or SE though!

We've got a good Super league team and a bridge but thats about it!:rolleyes:

[Grim Reaper 14]

I can tell that bpilatus is angry because of the :mad: , but that aside, I have no idea what that post means.

As for me, I ar e form Lnodno Senntrall, but time away spending childhood for coastal sothu legions.

Whatever happened to Stanley Unwin?

[terryJones]

Grim
Stanley died about this time last year if memory serves me well.
Deep joy and falopperly comfibold armcheese
BRL
East Angria not an option either :p

[BeauMan]

I'm a Londoner living in Cambridgeshire, working in the Peoples Republic of Milton Keynes and watching footy in luvverly Sheffield 6. God I'm one mixed up kiddie. :eek:

[sennadog]

The sunny South.:cool:

[Keef]

So why, when the last posting is dated 17th Feb, does this keep popping back up with 22 March late evening times?

[AA SLF]

Parson (Keef) -

'caus I just entered a vote for the USA - that is why! :D

[BRL]

Hi Keef. Whenever there is a vote on a thread, if someone 'votes' that will take the thread back to the top. :)

[Northern Highflyer]

yet another from the Peoples Republic of Yorkshire (West this time)

[Flyin'Dutch']

You mean originally? Have a guess...............

This morning, just from here, the center of the universe, well the center of ol' blighty really.

[Monocock]

Globally it appears that the south East UK has more pilots than anywhere........can't believe it

[long final]

Well, it definitely answered my question; good to see the NW, Wales and the Midlands are fairly well represented.

LF

[RiskyRossco]

New Zealand here..... middle of the North Island.. so much of the posts that come from the Mother Country ( pommie mum ) pretty much goes over my head. Frankly, I am nervous you excluded Oz. Next thing you know they'll be invading England to drink your pubs dry.

[Colonel Blink]

I am in the middle of the NI (NZRO) but am originally from Gods country (Scotland) but have lived all over the biggest dump going, namely England.

PS a Kiwi did invent the aircraft see here (http://chrisbrady.itgo.com/pearse/pearse.htm)

[Coke611]

I'm from the southeast. aahh, only 3 months to go till i can really start PPL training!!!!:D

[hungry_flygal]

Where'd everyone else from Sydney go ? :confused:


:p

[S-Works]

Actually Yorkshire is gods country not jockland.

And why has the midlands been lumped with Wales?

[AerBabe]

I've moved.

[TonyR]

260R 19D from BEL 400 yards grass 27/09

[Floppy Link]

so near....

BEL 210radial / 19 miles (before I moved)

no grass strip though. :{

Jockistan IS God's own country!

Stik stuck in Nawfalk

[Dewdrop]

It just go's to show that Southerners like a good pole !

[NinjaBill]

Yorkshire isnt Godscounty, God forsaken perhaps, but certainly not gods country, as large parts of it suffer from the M62 curse, whereby anywhere within about 10 miles of the m62 is a total $h1thole.

Starting from the East..

Hull - ****hole
Leeds - ****hole
Wakefield - ****hole
Bradford, Halifax, Manchester, Salford, Liverpool ... well you get the idea

[Charlie Zulu]

From the beer Capital of Europe... Cardiff.

To qualify the above: Cardiff is officially the beer capital of the UK and as the UK is the beer country of Europe, its logical that Cardiff is the beer capital of Europe.

No wonder loads of people are applying to Cardiff University for their degree courses!

;)

[Blind lemon]

I be hailing from Staffordshire, which may possibly be one of the least GA active counties unless anybody knows different.

[Max AirFactor]

This is deeply worrying. There’s people outside the M25 who have been allowed internet access. They’ll be wanting mobile phones next.

[WestWind1950]

guess I can't vote... don't notice Germany, or Continental Europe for that matter, anywhere.... makes me feel unwanted :{

Westy

(formerly from California! yeh!! :p )

[DRJAD]

North Yorkshire, though got here from London via Portsmouth and Birmingham!

Too much Yorkshire pudding on the beer here for complete comfort!

[englishal]

Middle of the South coast.

But me mum is Danish, my dad british, my mrs American, my aunty French (the "oily" part of Europe she calls it:D), my other uncle Danish, aunty Russian, oh and my cousin married a Swiss girl and now lives in Austin, Texas. So I don't know where I'm from really........
