I figured it was both sides of the pond (not TastyReuben or medtran49, but me certainly). It's just that creative said:Funny cos I always thought the UK folk post mostly in the usual daytime hours and the some of the US guys are insomniacs

That's my point though i.e. we are on different time zones! I'm UK based and you are in America. I am trying to fathom if this site is mostly American or other country. There's next to no activity during my daytime.
EDIT: I have now seen that there are less members here than I thought, which would explain a lot. Enquiry closed!

Are there many here from UK do you know?I am from the UK, my visits depend on how bored I am at work
Off the top of my head, and sincere apologies to anyone I miss (I’m seriously peeved with work right now
), among our regular posters, we have:1 Scot (lives in Australia)
1 English (lives in Venezuela)
5 English (live in England)
…and yourself.
Again, I’ve probably missed someone very obvious, so my apologies once that’s revealed.

The site started off primarily British, but most of the active members are in the USA now, but we are dispursed around the world. I guess it didn't help that it's British owner moved to Australia and forgot to return, but there are many other ex-pats on the site.
Countries covered in active members currently include USA, UK, Canada (?), Finland, the Netherlands, Italy (about to migrate to Ireland), New Zealand, Australia, Venezuela, Zambezi, Portugal (though currently absent), Croatia (again absent at the moment). I may have missed one or two off I'll apologise if I have.
Non-member visits are primarily USA, then UK.
I do notice that in my summer, I don't get to interact with members as much. It's easier with only a 9hr gap between Australia and the UK. It's currently 10hrs and will change to 11hrs this weekend when the UK goes back to GMT instead of British Summer Time which they are currently on.

It was meant to only drop to a minimum of 3°C last night. We woke to 0.2°C and a good frost. Tomorrow morning meant to be colder!
Today's forecast had a 5°C start (they always show the warmest it will be in the morning for the figures in the forecast).
Yep, it's definitely not seed germination weather!

my cousin (ex-USA/MD) lives in QLD - so we're semi-current on yard work and idiotic politicians.
I must say however, USA is hands down winning in the idiotic politicians scene . . .

The more variety the merrier, I have learnt so much since being on here and communicate with some really lovely people
Thanks for that. I have decided there is insufficient activity for me to stay here.Off the top of my head, and sincere apologies to anyone I miss (I’m seriously peeved with work right now

Buckytom was an incentive to return. I was very sad to read he is no longer here. His humour was a highlight for me here.

Sadly our political system is so punishing for candidates (dangerous for some) that few are willing to go through it. So we end up with people who want political power but are not the kinds of people who should have it.
