Largely Off-topic,
Once upon a time, a long time ago, some-one here suggested and organised a group on some online resource that allowed you to register (under a group banner) your location in the UK. Then, you could view a map of the UK with people's approximate location shown.
I've googled all my previous posts - and although I participated I don't think I replied to the OP, and so cannot find the thread.
Anyway, anyone remember the site that provided this facility?
Mike
Sorry, just found it, please ignore!
Ah - Google's Law. Two minutes after you post a question on a newsgroup you find the answer yourself. Done it myself loads of times.
Mike
So where is it?
Mary
Sorry, I didn't realise that you'd be interested. You should find the main site on
That's bloody excellent that is - thanks. Nice to know where we all are!
Right - back to the grout and the paint...
Cheers Dan.
Thanks. I think all the regulars should be on it!
Mary
Its good manners to post a followup because in the future someone else may be looking through Google archives.

Well. that's a few regulars who've identified themselves today!
I'll remember to be curteous to myself in future by following up on any replies I give to myself :)
uhh, someone beat me to it!

I added myself in today as well...
I wonder why some contributors are so shy about putting a real picture of themselves on it.
Mary
Presumably similar reasons (whatever they may be) that a large proportion don't use real names when posting.

In My *Long* Experience, using my real name, which anyone, with a little searching, can trace back to my address, and even mobile number, causes no me problems whatsoever.
I have no problems using my real name and address but I can't see how a picture is comparable, no matter how obsessive someone is about secrecy how many are going to see that person in the street and recognise him/her?
And even if they did, so what?
Mary
I've just spent the last 5 mins trying to do just that and the sodding thing won't take any image I've uploaded. Grrr
Cheers Dan.
I can see your imge OK. And mine (newly added)
Another stout (as in sturdy, not fat, you understand) real name and picture person.
Tell a lie - it appears in the general "Group Photos" (
But not under the map entry for you.
The message from "Mary Fisher" contains these words:
In my case it was because I happened to know where my Skipweasel avatar was lurking and couldn't put my hands on a photo of me. I'm usually behind the camera.
