Which is odd as we’re sitting opposite each other in the kitchen.

Ah this is right up there with the glorious:-

'what time is it - what time does your cooker say it is?'


Someone's going to be angry - "this is a football forum".

Tottenham, which unfortunately is correct as I am passing White Hart Lane on the train. But yesterday, I was apparently in Paris.

I downloaded the app, and it says I'm at home in Bexhill, which is spot on. How dull (both the app and Bexhill).

Mine says St Anthony's Hill which is a couple of miles out as I'm at Shinewater at the top end of Langney, Eastbourne. Shinewater can be pretty exotic at times so I am not feeling left out.

‘Home’….which is correct (usually is providing you’ve allowed the app to use location sevices on your phone otherwise it’ll be random) ��*♂️

using VPN? these things usually go by IP unless you have location services on. often see located to London but not another country unless going through VPN.

Good thinking, but in this case no. :shrug:

Umm; I’ve just driven to a clinic in Cheshunt, and now I’m in Takoradi too!

Still, at least my partner and I are now co-located. Unless she flew to Pakistan to meet me.

I have a weather app on my phone for current location - Southampton. I do, however, have one for Antarctica in case I pay a visit. Currently the temperature down there is -54 centigrade but with the wind chill feels like -62. This is slightly warmer than after a midweek evening game at the Amex in February. :cheers:

At home in Truro, but it doesn’t know which room.
