So, where are you all from?

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

You've also missed out the USA and Oz. Understandably.

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".

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 ?

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



Peace

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

Nice divisive thread

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
