Can we all say where we live?
« on: July 24, 2012, 12:32:57 PM »
Something that came up on some recent threads where forum members were trying to suggest shops to try or where to buy stuff revealed that we often don't realise which countries we all live in.

This is especially so now that BKP has a larger international following and user base.

I thought it would be good if we could all fill in on our profiles where we reside - so we can more easily have informed conversations about guitar shopping , and trade gear , join bands, throw BKP get-togethers etc. etc. etc.

What do you all think?
I know some will prefer to remain more enigmatic/incognito, but I see us as all one big family regardless of boundaries - but just feel it would be nice to know where everyone is....

Sounds sensible - just the city/country should do it?

My location has always been there anyway, but it'd certainly be helpful for certain discussions.

Its interesting as well  :D

Shall we mention it here as well as our profiles?

In any case, I've been living in London/UK for more than 10 years now and love it.

Don't need too much detail
town or county is cool and country of course.

On profiles would be best - but happy for discussions here

I'm Croydon - South London/Surrey, UK

I think my profile has my location on, but for the avoidance of doubt I'll list it here...  Jarrow, Tyne & Wear.

i believe it's warm and sunny down there though, isn't it?  these sheep are shivering in the rain and fog!
