All over I think. Definitely America, I've worked thst much out so probably international.

TheSpottedZebra · 11/01/2017 20:55

Mostly Brits, quite a few Irish.
Also other nationalities in the UK, Brits abroad, and non Brits not in Britain.

So it varies Grin

Redglitter · 11/01/2017 20:55

There's people from all over on here. Predominately the UK Smile

Newtothisshiz · 11/01/2017 20:56

I thought so, i saw someone write how worried they were about trump and I was thinking why Confused as I thought this was a UK thing.

I know at least one Australian.

GoLightlyHollie · 11/01/2017 20:58

I would say mainly Brits with a good few people from mainly english speaking nations thrown in, so Ireland, Oz, US, NZ. I think AIBU has a particularly international flavour. It's the only thread I read anyway. I had no idea how liberally people used the word cunt in every day life - thought possibly not IRL? - until I found AIBU.

I'm worried about Trump and I'm a Brit in Britain.
We all should be!

EssentialHummus · 11/01/2017 21:00

I have seen stray Saffas wandering about.

SwedishEdith · 11/01/2017 21:01

I think everyone should be worried about Trump.

JeepersMcoy · 11/01/2017 21:02

Everyone should be worried about Trump. I'm a Brit and he scares the shit out of me.

Newtothisshiz · 11/01/2017 21:03

Cuntin hell. Yeah it makes sense from what I've been reading anyway. I think foreign countries, such as U.S definitely have different values to what say British people do. You can definitely tell that from some of the responses Smile.

And good point about Trump actually.

I reckon people in many countries across the world are worried about Trump!

But it is mostly Brits here, including Brits abroad (like me) and foreigners in Britain but also quite a lot from other English speaking countries. Possibly some that aren't British in non-English speaking countries but I imagine that's rarer.

Strokethefurrywall · 11/01/2017 21:08

I'm a Brit but have lived in the Caribbean for the better part of a decade, and use Mumsnet.

Costacoffeeplease · 11/01/2017 21:11

I'm from the uk and live in Portugal, been here almost 14 years

Chinnygirl · 11/01/2017 21:14

Dutchie here and I'm also worried about Trump.

TeenAndTween · 11/01/2017 21:14

The education pages also get a fair few people living in Asia wondering about boarding schools.

geekymommy · 12/01/2017 01:54

American in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania here.

MangosteenSoda · 12/01/2017 02:00

I think most sentient people are worried about Trumpnik Grin

I've noticed lots of Brits in Asia (like me) on here. Lots of Aussies and NZlanders too.

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 12/01/2017 02:04

I emigrated to Canada 6 years ago

Pallisers · 12/01/2017 02:05

I'm Irish. Also a US citizen and living and rearing children in the US.

I never went on MN until the Irish site Magicmum died. I enjoy it now.

That said MN is extremely anti-american and people post stuff about americans that they wouldn't post about any other nationality. I dip in and out of complaining on those threads. Mostly trying to dip out on the basis that I can't change anyone's mind about that kind of bigotry.

HennaFlare · 12/01/2017 02:07

Brit in Canada. I've been in Canada a year, but used MN for 10. It feels like a little bit of 'home'!

JungleInTheRumble · 12/01/2017 02:10

Brit in SE Asia here!

fatowl · 12/01/2017 02:11

I'm a teacher at a British International school in Asia.

Been here 12 years - used MN for about the last 6.

PenelopeFlintstone · 12/01/2017 02:12

Brit in Oz.
