Where are all the UK posters based?

You don't have to be too specific, county or even region will do. I seem to be seeing a Yorkshire bias, and I want to know if I'm right.

The avatar gives you a good clue!

NE Newcastle, if you want to be more specific.

On second thoughts, I'm going to make this a poll.

As it says to the left - Kent. But born in Wales (blame Adolf) instead of the City of London where my family had lived since 1326.

Educated in schools in South London, Gibraltar, Suffolk, South London again, Australia. Post grad in Hampshire, Devon, City of London and Kent. Still being eddicated.

I speak Estuary English with Strine (Australian) additions. My French still has a Strine accent which causes confusion when I visit our French neighbours. Otherwise typically English. I understand Yorkshire, Brummy, Scots, Ulster and other variants of English including some Yardie.

No - it's against the Lit rules to post URLs in threads, except the advertising sticky thread.

Where did you get that idea? Not to say you're wrong, but I can't find a blanket ban on URLs anywhere. The rules on URLs are (edited a little for brevity):

6. Any posts made with the intent of promoting another site or a product will be removed. Literotica is not a place to promote other websites, and we are very strict on this issue. If you abuse this policy, you will be banned.

7. Please do not blatantly "advertise" for other websites in your signature. We allow non-commercial links to other people's personal websites in sigs, but please do not beg people to click on your link, make it huge and/or flashing, or otherwise be obnoxious. We do not allow links to any adult pay sites.

...I don't read that that says no URLs at all. As long as you're not promoting the other site, although promoting is a very tricky thing to define. Maybe I should PM Laurel about this?

Dear Ms,
I've never been there, but I've heard that nobody ever goes to Manchester except under extreme duress.

God's own country.

CORNWALL - the bit that sticks out of the bottom left corner.

The town has the Flora Dance on May the 8th each year.

The present avatar is the Cerne Abbas Giant which is cut into the chalk on a hillside in Dorset.

In the center more of less, but not in a town or city... surrounded by woods, wheat fields and the odd sheep.

Ah, Trowell.

I say this because Trowell was declared officially the centre of Britain when the 1951 Festival of Britain was put on. The pub there is (was) called the Festival Inn to commemorate this fact.

In the pig's arse. If you look at a map of Britain you may notice (with a bit of imagination) that it looks like an old lady carrying a pig. Scotland is the head and shoulders, Wales is the pig's head, the SW is her feet and the SE is the pig's arse.

I thought Meriden was the geographical centre of England.

Originally posted by TheEarl it looks like an old lady carrying a pig.

I've just spent several minutes looking at a map of the UK from all angles. Even using my most vivid imagination (and that's fairly vivid), I can't see an old lady carrying a pig.

It's obvious to me that it's a hunched-back man on very intimate terms with a sheep.
