I can't edit any of the previous posts now so I've had to start yet another list of additions. There must be a better way of doing this!
David Braund London Michael Connor Durham Alan Craig Warrington Dave Robinson Conwy Wales Ian Savage England Matthew Stokes Fleet I make it 82 now. I'll post the lot again when we hit the century or possibly before. |
The list
Quote:
I have added everyone to an Excel list (did it for my own benefit originally) - could this be put on site here with a link to it so that others could add themselves? This way you (or anyone else) would not responsible for continual additions. It would of course mean that others would be responsible for not messing up the list. I am guessing that the "Data Privacy Act" somehow prevents this although inclusion in the list would be the responsibility of the body adding their details. Alternatively - I would bet the search field *Country* could be added to the "Find Members" facility in the "Members List" which makes a whole lot more sense in helping find co-workers, friends and neighbours. Of course those not wishing to show up on that might object......and so on we go.... |
The list
Just did a search using UK in location and 899 came back. A cursory glance showed me that some were UKraine members and no doubt there are going to be others fed back erroneously.

How do we take this forward - bring it to the attention of the wranglers? |

The way around it...
The way around the issue of missing persons presumed gone after long term communications gaps and listing those who don't want to be listed would be to add a facility for those who do. Example;
The folks over here in the UK who do want to be known, be available for a meet one day, be communicable on the phone perhaps for advice or help and possibly even share work load or projects could enter their details in a register for UK based operators who do want to share their details. The fact it is opt in means that no-one is in it without their approval. It would be simple enough to organise by extracting data from the members database possibly by inclusion of a tick in your profile that says show me in the results of a search for other members in a geographical location - i.e. UK. No tick means you don't show up in the specific search. I wouldn't worry about getting any attention to this - big brothers will have been watching every move this string makes...If it makes sense to them I would think they'll adopt it for all members / states and locations, after all the forum is here to enable it's members to help each other. |
Excel Brit list

Trying to upload an Excel file with the 85 Brits so far listed. I haven't tried this before so it may not work first time. Thanks to Dave Gosley for suggestions and sharing his list.
Dave, I worked out how to search the members list and like you found the 899 hits. In addition to those from the UKraine, it also brings up folks from MilwaUKee! There are almost certainly other spurious hits if one can work them out. ( It reminds me of the early days of school internet access, when we were puzzled why the town of Sc***horpe had apparently ceased to exist). Oops, sorry, forgot this is a family show. |
Just tried a search on Wales, and came up with 35 members - though some could have been from New South Wales

Totally off topic request

Since it appears we have a fair number of folks operating in London, I thought I would ask this just on the off-chance that someone was able to help. It is a bit of an imposition so I will not be too disappointed if it isn't possible.
My daughter is one of the prizewinners in a Bebo.com/Fanta "want it-win it" competition and in addition to winning an iPod Touch, her photo is to be one of those featured on a big screen in Piccadilly Circus. I don't know which building the screen is on, but as I am writing this I can see it on the web cam http://www.camvista.com/england/lond...illycircus.php Her photo is to be displayed "from Monday 7th July for a week" according to Bebo. Here's the cheeky bit. If anyone happens to be passing and has a phone with a camera, it would be great if they could take a picture of the scene as the webcam in Piccadilly Circus does not enough resolution to see much detail. The mugshot Bebo is to feature is attached. If anyone can help TIA but I know it's a long shot. The only possible excuse for posting this is that if anyone in London has a compelling need for free footage of any landmark, famous building or scene in the Glasgow/Central Scotland area, I have an XH-A1 and would try to help. |
Damned shame, I was up there filming for two days solid ten days ago - in the Rex cinema just round the corner!! Would have done it just for the heck of it..!

It's hard to decide who to omit, but leaving aside those those whose "last activity" was several years ago (as well as NSW) I came up with this: Paul Burgess Brecon Wales David.

DVinfo Scotland
A similar search on Scotland produced 81 hits. Leaving aside those those whose "last activity" was several years ago:
Paul Black Scotland Mark Boggis Glasgow Scotland Alastair Brown Glasgow Scotland Scott Brown Aberdeen Scotland Rikki Bruce Glasgow Scotland Stuart Burns Dundee Scotland Alex Calderhead Cumbernauld Scotland Mark Campbell Dundee,Scotland David Carter Glasgow Scotland Scott Cassie Peterhead Scotland James Collinson Glasgow Scotland Nicole Dolder Edinburgh Scotland George Duncan Burghead Scotland Christopher Dunne Edinburgh Scotland John Estcourt Ayrshire Scotland Steve Garvie Fife Scotland Jeff Goddard Perth Scotland David Graham Glasgow Scotland Andy Graham Lanark Scotland Henry Gray Selkirk Scotland Duncan Grieve Glasgow Scotland Derek Grogan Larbert Scotland Roddy Horsfall Glasgow Scotland Kathleen Little Glasgow Scotland Peter Mackay Scotland Scott MacKenzie Glasgow Scotland Gary Masson Aberdeen Scotland Colin McCaffery Aberdeenshire Scotland Colin McDonald Glasgow Scotland Allen McLaughlin Paisley Scotland John McPaul Inverclyde Scotland Stewart Menelaws Scotland John Millar Scotland David Miller Edinburgh Scotland Ross Milligan Scotland Tom Park Glasgow Scotland Eric A Robinson Edinburgh Scotland Martin D. Smith Dundee Scotland John Steele Glasgow Scotland Jennie Stenhouse Glasgow Scotland Martin Trotter Scotland Lenny Warren Glasgow Scotland Sandy Watt Glasgow Scotland Ian Wright Edinburgh Scotland Keith Yuill Scotland Of course, not everyone may have used Scotland in their location. I've included some from Edinburgh UK and Glasgow UK but have neglected to search for Auchenshuggle UK or Auchtermuchty UK and the like. As with the list of DVinfo users located in Wales, it could well be that some of the others not included above are still viewing DVinfo without logging in. |
There is at least one other from Wales that seems to have evaded your list - and I only remember him because we happened to meet one evening. And his last post was only a few months ago.
I haven't seen Wales spelt Chymru before - usually it is Cymru (pronounced Cumry for those who are unfamiliar with the Welsh language) and mutating to Gymru depending on the preceding word. I don't speak Welsh, beyond a simple Boreda, and Nosdar (good day and goodnight) |
