I discovered tonight that whenever I type my home county, FUN Forum wants me to move home, to Hertfordshire to be exact. I am not alone, it does just the same if I were to live in Staffordshire. Have we done something wrong? Is there a geographical or political reason why we should not mention where we come from.
I note also that Leicestershire must be typed Leicester shire or with a hyphen the same with Northampton-shire
Up until now I was happy living in Bedfordshire but the spell-checker is not. Fascinating!

I know I like kayaking and other water sports, but having my house mid-stream is getting things too wet, even for me :LOL: and it's 16 miles west of where I actually live !

Google is poor at guessing outside of the US. though normally, your postcode followed by UK gets the marker in the right place.

I suppose 16 miles off target isn't too bad, if they're judging it from the US ;)

Bedfordshire is now part of my spool choker vocabulary. A pity really, for Hertfordshire had much to commend it.

Is an exact pin location a good idea?
It could be a problem if you have a Transit based moho!:imoutahere:
