    UK Questions
    :confused: Hi everyone,
    I am relatively new to this site, but enjoytrying to anser questions.
    Only problem is, a lot of the questions I am reading, have been generated from The States or Australia etc.
    Is there a way, that I can filter out questions asked from the UK Only, as trying to answer a question about an American TV Titlke in the 80's that probably never hit UK screens is impossible.

    Thanks all

    :confused:

    No, you can't filter stuff that way.

    I'm surprised at what you have found. Most members here are from the US. Here's a graphic of our members just for fun.

    Thanks anyway - just have to read american questions, and hope that some of them relate to UK ways of doing things etc.
    Cheers

    So much of the site applies to all folk from all over... except for things like legal, credit, etc.

    Whoa, that map is awesome.

    What do you mean by the 'UK' way of doing things? I thought being human meant doing the right thing. :)

    If it is something pertaining to legalities, forms of commerce or any other government 'thing', then we will either help with as much as we know pertaining to your situation or if we don't we may not answer unless we've done the proper research. It also depends on how much information you give out when you ask a question. Take care!

    Oh don't worry about us Americans, we have deep, meaningful questions which are quite topical to the average Brit. It's those Canadians you want to shy away from! Don't read any of their questions. All nonsense... Moose Drool! I've been looking for a way to filter them out myself. By the way, I'm the red dot just left of Montana.

    I myself (as a brit),have never thought in transatlantic,australasian,european,or where ever terms.I just think of us as one big global family,without filters,or borders.

    Matt, that is one of the main reasons that it is important to fill in your Location in your profile. That way everyone knows where your advice is coming from.

    Californian's are a breed of their own, I have travled many miles, and coming here is literally like stepping into a new country. The only other place I thought was awkard is New Jersey, that whole no left hand turns thing really stumped me and has been chalked up to things I must find out before I die questions...
