I studied geography, so place is very important.  I often find myself checking profiles for place and being disappointed there is no entry.  Place may affect the way I reply to a question.

I am from the West Riding, which covers a lot of ground, from the East Midlands to Westmorland.  There will not be many of us left who can say they once worked for the West Riding County Council!

  I didn't study geography, but have found that I place things on an imaginary map. Because I live almost at the south coast, I look north at most things, but have difficulty when people talk about the western docks or western heights in Dover. I have to "go" out to sea, so I can look north, then I know which is west! It sounds very odd, but we all see things differently.

When I joined Rootschat in 2008 I didn't realize how secure the information was and being relatively new to modern technology was cautious.  I'm not "down there with the young ones" as my grandson tells me but I have updated my profile today.  I live in Derbyshire! Your comments to my post have been really interesting.   
Have a great bank holiday weekend everyone, and perhaps when someone comments on some lovely weather we might know which AREA they live in.  Looks like sunshine and showers for me.

Goodness me Nova67 now you will have us all guessing. Driest continent Antartica followed by Australia? But when I first read your post I was going to say Nevada.  Guess I'm wrong then.

Not in Antarctica ;D, although heading for winter. You can Google what I wrote though.
