Mumsnetters in Local Area

[jampot]

on my registration details. |Whats all that about?

How do I find who is in my local area? More to the point how do I avoid those in my local area>

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

PMSL!

[IntergalacticDave]

I was wondering this too jampots.

I donlt actually think there are a great deal of MNers near me, but I might be surprised!

[jampot]

im frightened to think that there might be.

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

There are loads of MNers near me.

But that doesnt surprise me. I live in London, which of course is the centre of the Universe

[princessmel]

I don't think this bit is up and running yet. I might be wrong though, they might be all meeting up without me!!

[IntergalacticDave]

I'm more frightened about the ones who might know me, but withiout saying anything

[jampot]

ah you see I dont exist as I live north of Watford

[IntergalacticDave]

And I live in Bumpkin Land.

[IntergalacticDave]

I do hail from civilisation though (Birmingham)

[rey]

I know what you mean that's why I haven't completed it. I like being able to ask questions that I couldn't bear to ask someone in person and I like being able to answer topics/queries in total honesty. Wouldn't mind knowing if there are any MN in my area thouge no-one so far. I live in a small village and it could be embarrassing!

[jampot]

Birmingham? civilisation?

[AlaskaDingo]

I keep trying to change this to no, but it reverts back to yes every time

Live in a rural area with not many people and don't want to be identified. I like the anonymity.

[Themis]

I have the same , I cannot change it to No, all I did therefore was take out my postcode in the box above it.

Without the postcode they don't know where you live , so yes in the box is irrelevant (hopefully).

Surely if anyone wnats to know if any Mumsnetteres are living near them they just ask in a thread and if the others want to meet up then they answer ??

[IntergalacticDave]

It was v civilised where I lived (King's Heath)

I went to a Grammar school, doncha know?

[carriemumsnet]

It's all part of one of many of tech's cunning plans, which hasn't yet come to fruition. The idea being that if you join Mumsnet and would like to meet up with local mumsnetters in RL, we'd be able to put you in touch with other local mumsnetters who'd expressed a desire to meet local mumsnetters....Oh you know what I mean!

Anyway crucially there's no obligation to sign up or be put in touch with anyone, it's just something we thought we'd include as an option.

HTH

team mumsnet

[Themis]

but why can't the option be changed to No instead of always defaulting to Yes.

[yeahinaminute]

Excuse me Dave - Bumpkin land ????

How very dare you - weem's proper round these parrrrts !!

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

Jampots is thinking that this is like "Big Mother" pmsl.

[hunkerlemonandsugarmunker]

I read that sign-off as Teeth Mumsnet, Carrie.

[loon]

[Tech]

Hurro,

That (displaying yes always) was a fault. It basically always displayed "yes". It knew you meant no though, iyswim. It should be working properly now.

Regards,
Tech
