To think there should be an English section on here?

AIBU to think that as there are sections for Scottish, Welsh and Irish posters on this site so why not one for the English and those who live in England?

Maybe regions of England?

Apparently MN isnt an English site. I don't see why it can't be possible. Might stop Scots moaning that English people presume this or that about the rest of the UK.

Show quote history

So your gripe is more anti-scottish then?
I think it would make more sense to have NE Mumsnetters, Manchester Mumsnetters etc.

I dunno OP, sounds dreadfully far right and racist of you.

(Sarcasm, but there's going to be people claiming that in all seriousness soon)

There’s about 5m Scots, 5m Irish and ?1 m Welsh do that leaves about 59 m English - I don’t think you need a special section as most posters ARE English already.

Don’t the separate boards tend towards things that only affect the specific area anyway?

Not needed. What would we even discuss.

Indeed. The English are dreadfully underrepresented 🙄

And it has started....

Just somewhere to talk about living there, places to visit etc.

The vast majority of posts and posters are from/living in/about England so it would be totally unnecessary.

I think ,it was because it was always assumed that posters were English that ,posters in Ireland and other parts of the British Isles wanted their own sections ?( before anyone starts I know the Republic of Ireland isn,t part f of the UK.
