Why am I seeing local posts for other areas?

I've just seen one for Tower hamlets and I'm nowhere near London.
They only seem to pop up once and I don't see them again.
Just to be clear this is not a complaint and is not causing me an attack of the pink vapours I'm just curious as it seems to be a recent thing

Hi there Stealth,

Our Talk pages thought you might like a holiday?... OK, no. Ahem. Sorry.

Local Talk pages should be recognising where you are and showing you threads relevant to your area, but from what you say that's not working terribly well!

We're going to ask Tech if they can give us any more info on why it's happening and whether there's something you can do to call your Local pages back to heel.

In the meantime, could you possibly screenshot any pages where you're getting random local pages flashed at you and send them in? If Tech can see what you're looking at when it's happening it might help them sort it out.

Thanks for your patience. And sorry about this! We promise it won't be easier to simply move house!

Right. We definitely need to arrange some sort of mass Mumsnet house swap here, don't we?

Gah! We're so sorry about this. Do continue to post screenshots if you have time (thanks for yours, Stealth) and we'll pass them all on to Tech to help them nail down what's happening.

Thanks again for your patience.

Ooh - update from Tech. It's not great news, we're afraid.

It's not that Local is recognising you as being in the wrong area, apparently. It's just showing you the most recent active local threads across the UK at the moment.

It is something Tech are looking at sorting out so at some point you should find it stops but they don't have a timeframe for it at the moment we're afraid.

So hopefully that at least answers your question. Hope having a compulsory tour of the UK via Mumsnet isn't too annoying in the meantime.
