Title: Location! Location! Location!
Post by: Tee Gee on March 08, 2007, 13:44:13

I know this matter has been raised before and I thought I would raise it again.

Many of the questions asked on this forum and other forums in A4A are often related to where one lives.

Regularly I answer question and my  first impulse is 'where do you live and or grow your stuff?'

If I knew this; I think me personally, and a few others would be able to make a more calculated reply to your questions.

All I ask for is your nearest town to be indicated under your avatar

What do you think?

Me?? I put my location where we are supposed to put it - in my profile.

But yes - if folk are too lazy to look there, I'll add it here.

650' asl!.More important than 50 miles of location. Historically, one of the coldest place in the country!

Equally - if people could say outdoors/indoors/ heated growing when describing a problem it would help enormously?

Post by: Gillysdad on March 08, 2007, 18:58:16

Another good idea Tee Gee. Now how do I get it on here?

Title: Re: Location! Location! Location!

Title: Re: Location! Location! Location!
Post by: Tee Gee on March 08, 2007, 19:09:09

Just go to your profile and where it says; Personal Text: type in your location its as simple as that!

Title: Re: Location! Location! Location!

Thought I'd done it when I signed up.... Forgot to click on "Change Profile"! Thank you, Tim.

Title: Re: Location! Location! Location!
Post by: Larkshall on March 09, 2007, 07:43:15

I did mine when I first signed in. It does help to know what sort of problems a person has and where.

Edit:  Ah, got it now.

Apologies to anyone in Camborne, Cornwall, it was the stupid developers who chose a duplicated name, why couldn't they have chosen the original name Monkfield. It is unigue in England.

It is not a good idea to have duplicated names or names that sound the same. There was an occasion when an American landed at Heath Row and asked a taxi driver to take him to Lulworth. The taxi driver only knew of Lolworth, Cambs. When they arrived they went to the Post Office and asked where the barracks were, The reply was that the nearest were Oakington. The American then ferreted out the papers and found that he wanted East Lulworth, Dorset, two hundred miles in the opposite direction.

Post by: Tee Gee on March 09, 2007, 11:01:51

Thanks to all who have indicated there whereabouts quite a variation I see which can only be good for all of us.

At least we can now relate to, and appreciate why some of us are in front or behind each other.

Thanks again

Post by: Grandma on March 09, 2007, 11:25:44

Thanks Tee Gee! Great idea. Some of us have obviously found it a bit of a struggle and for a geriatric, computer-illiterate ole soul like me it's been a big headache!  :-(However I now know I have a near-neighbour! Hello, Nelson!  :))

Post by: Grandma on March 17, 2007, 13:50:17

Just wanted to bring this thread to the top again. It's such a good idea!  ;D  I find the first thing I do now is look and see where in the world people are. There are so many new names cropping up  -  (with no location information  :() -   perhaps this will prompt them to add their location details - such a help when comparing notes, asking for/giving advice, etc., etc.

Great work by TeeGee, but WHY didn't you all do it after Dan had gone to great expense to set up a sophisticated site??

Funny world!!

Title: Re: Location! Location! Location!
Post by: Grandma on March 18, 2007, 12:54:02

Funny world - with lots of funny people (like me :-[)  in it, Tim. Not all of us are as clever with these computer-thingies as you are. I hadn't a clue how to get this sort of stuff on until TeeGee started this thread - some of us need a helping shove, Tim!  ;) (The location info really is helpful though, isn't it?  :-*)

Post by: Blue Bird on March 18, 2007, 13:19:56

Hi Grandma agree with you and I also find it useful  :-*
