--- Quote from: Gyro on April 14, 2021, 04:12:33 pm ---Let's just cut the linguistics 'noise' (polite word) and concentrate on the basics... It is useful to know what country a member is currently in so that advice can be relevant to their location - sourcing items, mains related stuff, physical environmental factors etc. Hopefully nobody seriously gives a stuff about a member's ethnicity, country of birth, or background. It is purely a practical thing! --- End quote --- Why, there surely is more to it than just sourcing components. You could replace this post with just your flag and in the context of this thread it would read almost the same to me :D |

Now this forum supports Unicode, why still use images of flags? The good thing about text is it can be zoomed and scaled, without distortion and pixelation. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 |

Shouldn't that be UK? It has the saltire for St. Patrick. |
