Members and Visitors Flags
I have read on another thread that we are a site that is visited by mainly Europeans. It may be the membership is made up of mainly Europeans, I cannot confirm that, but according to the flags shown we now have people ,members and guests, visiting us from 98 countries across 6 continents.
Seeing all the flags is a good reminder that not everyone is a native English speaker and we must all make allowances for the differences in the way we write. It's also a good reminder that you never know who is reading what you have written.

Often when I'm sitting here at daft o-clock in the morning 'cos I can't sleep I have a look to see who else is on and there will sometimes be a lot of USA and Far Eastern flags.
Must be something to do with time zones.
Keefy. I've think I've tried all I can do at this end to change my flag. It shows me in Holland instead of UK.
When I first registered I put my location as N/E England and I've a sneaking fancy that e-bots mates in the programme mistook this for Netherlands.
What do you reckon?

[face=Comic Sans MS]Tobyjug - many of the flags that appear can be 'bots', infact I'm sure ebot has partys late at night.
Keefy is still having problems connecting, but it may be best if you put your flag querie to him in a pm or in the Suggestions section as I doubt he gets chance to read all the threads.[/face]

[face=Comic Sans MS]Does that include Territories, Colonies & Dependancies?
I did start making a list of all the countries alphabetically so that we could cross them off as we saw the flags. I must have a dig in my files and see how far I got.
