The majority of us put something informative in our
forum persona.
It is usually conducive to friendly correspondence if you
know vaguely where the person you are talking to is
coming from.
I can understand why some might leave it blank:
"Too globally mobile to pin down"
"On the run from the Law"
"Unwanted visitors tracking you down"
and least probably
"So "one planet" conscious that it shouldn't matter one iota."

I put "England" not to be deliberately vague, but to convey
that my formative years have been spent in several different
places there e.g. Norfolk, Oxford, Cambridge, London, Milton Keynes.

FLAME WARNING

"Somewhere you aren't" I find both presumptious and offensive
simultaneously, as I do the (nameless of course) dweller there.

[QUOTE=davieddy;241418]"Too globally mobile to pin down"
"On the run from the Law"
"Unwanted visitors tracking you down"[/QUOTE]All three of those apply to me. Except for the first one though. Oh, and the last one also is not applicable either.

If only from your times of posting, I have a suspicion
you are on my side of the pond.

My sleep pattern has been random for some time.
Test matches down under don't help much either.

They say real estate is all location, location, location.
I guess I can be reached by triangulation.

BTW Google Earth seem to have captured my dwelling place
fairly accurately on the video.

Just as well it was unoccupied at the time.

Those Brits and their sense of humour.

Full marks for the appropriate spelling!

Why do Yanks refer to us as "Brits" when they think
the UK is called England?

Because "Engs" would be spelled "Ings".

Stop taking the piss -- Yanks is used just as carelessly. On this side of the pond many of us recognize quite a distinction between sides taken during the Civil War but most of us let it go without getting pedantic.

Ho ho ho whichever mod/hacker bowdlerized my location.

I suppose UncWilly (for it is he) now hails from Lil Ol England.

Brits from Britain, the English from England, UKers,
which do you prefer? Yanks are more thick-skinned.
