Woolton Hill? I don't think I've ever been to Woolton Hill. On the map it doesn't look like it has a casino. It has a primary school a doctor's surgery and a pub.

But oddly they do use the US dollar. That's true.

They don't really.

When I had my old phone, when I was at home my Google map thought my phone was in the lake in the field over the railway line.

Every week my 'pay as you go' O2 phone welcomes me to France! I've had the account for over 30 years or there abouts.

Depends on where the service you are accessing gets its location data from. Most use your GPS from the phone but still quite a few that just look at your IP address then look it up. For a mobile provider (or internet via broadband) that address will be linked to wherever their gateway is so london wouldnt be that unusual.

Would you need to move to Daggering? scratchchin



No such place, I know, but I was worried the spelling of Dagenham would not be obvious enough. I'll go now getmecoat

Bieldside in Aberdeen.

It's 524 miles from here.

Although I have been to Aberdeen city centre, i have never been to Bieldside.

I should go. It might be nice.

Came here thinking this was a VPN thread. Carry on. Maybe not to Aberdeen though.

Mine sometimes seems to think I'm in Bracknell but that is where my ISP is.

Last time I was on the Isle of Man in February, I got a "Welcome to Jersey" message from Manx Telecom confused

Hartlepool. Today I've had thirteen invitations to have my house in Hartlepool valued. I have been to Hartlepool once but I did not buy a house there. I did have lunch in a pub and visited museum ship, HMS Trincomalee. It was built in Bombay in 1817.

Just Birmingham, (130 miles away) and apparently solar panel installers are amazed how people don't know something about them.

I do actually live a much racier life than this suggests, just google hasn't quite figured that out yet.

Today my phone has me here in Newbury and things are looking up.

Unlikely though it may seem.

Islington. That's two hours each way by public transport. At my time of life.
