    No, Cindy. He was on the UK & Ireland page just as we are now, petal. Was wondering what she was talking about myself - thought I'd managed to get myself on the wrong page somehow.

    If you go back to the "all categories" page you see an option on the left to see "all English" or "UK and Ireland". This means that there is not a dedicated page as such for UK and Ireland but a filter set at personal level to select what you view from the database. If you choose "all English" then you see all the American stuff too. So I guess the reason you see Yanks responding to UK and Ireland questions must be that our questions are so much more interesting than theirs.

    Have a nice day.

    Yanks giving answers is not a problem only when the give an American based answer does it become so.

    Yes. I think if the language is English, then all the questions come up regardless of the country.

    1) They seem to be fascinated with us.

    2) I think YA classes all english answers in the same section.

    I hate to say this - but America, UK, Canada, etc. - what's the difference? We're all cousins here.
