Just curious how spread out we are. I’m up in West Yorkshire myself.
Edited to add: Hi /all! Please remember this is a UK-based community, just in case you’re confused. But you are of course welcome. :)

Hi from Oslo, Norway!
Australia. It’s a fair walk.
Liverpool
Ex West London, now Buckinghamshire
Germany, now living in South East England. Not a fan, to be honest with you. I’ll have to stay a bit longer but I don’t see a future here. Housing, cost of living, healthcare, blatant government corruption (or, as it’s called here, “sleaze”, I don’t know why people aren’t calling it out for what it is), an out-of-control Met, systematic neglect of reports of domestic violence and the regular news of women who had reported it, got ignored and then killed by their abusive partners… The list goes on. I really love this country, the countryside here is stunning (especially in the south in the summer), people are so friendly, I have really enjoyed living here, despite lockdowns and the questionable food. But it’s just too much that’s going wrong to stay here long-term, sadly
A lot of that seems to be a London problem rather than a UK problem, but we’ll not discuss the P word here.
I don’t live in London. What’s the P word?
In UKCasual, discussion of p*litics isn’t allowed.
Ah gotcha. Will refrain from doing so
I thought the Met police looked after London?
South Wales now, but originally from Yorkshire
North Ayrshire.
Directly above the centre of the Earth.
…take my upvote and get out of here.
Very kind, old bean. btw, West London originally, now tropical north Australia.
How are you enjoying the summer? /joke
Wyoming … shire.
How on earth did you end up in !UKCasual? Not a criticism or anything, I’m just curious. :)
Usually people ask me how the hell I ended up in Wyoming, which is also a fair question. But, as 1st mentioned, you were on the front page.
Y’all are at the top of all right now on kbin. -coming from the northern territory of King Charles the first (North Carolina)
Thanks for the info. I said hi to /all. :)

Woohoo! Hello everyone
Hahaha, reading through the comments, I was like, am I in a Brit-only sub.
New Mexistan here.
Edit: Ok, maybe I did end up somewhere I’m not supposed to be. Still don’t understand the Fediverse. 🤦🏻♀️
“Am I in a Brit-only sub?” - yes, welcome
We’re Brit-based not Brit-only 🙂
Suffolk. Detectorists country.
The Detectorists is incredible. It’s my go to comfort watch.
Same. I love that show.
It makes me cry, in a nice way
Me too lol. Like, this is so wholesome and cosy I’m going to cry now.
Essex here - not long moved from London…
Norwich AKA Partridgeshire
Another in Edinburgh. Although I’ve been here for (checks notes) 33 years. Yikes.
One more from Edinburgh, originally Dunfermline.
Username checks out.
Technically I was born a Geordie, raised a Fifer. So I know Dunfermline (or at least the Dunfermline of the 80s) well.
Ah, the Leishman years. Happy times :-)
Canada… This post appeared on my feed on kbin.social 🤷
I am addicted to UK panel shows and comedy though, so there’s a connection?
Favorite panel show?
I love QI and Cats does Countdown. And although it’s not exactly a panel show, I’m a big fan of Taskmaster.
Have you managed to find a shred of info about why the latest season of Cats only did one episode then just… stopped? Whenever I try to google it I can’t seem to find anything about it
I’m also from Canada (Southern Ontario) and love all those shows as well. Be sure to check out The Unbelievable Truth radio show as well. Currently listening through a second time I enjoyed it so much!
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check it out!
Not OP but 8oo10cdc and wilty.
Oh I love WILTY
Hertfordshire, in the Chilterns
