The IP Address Location at the bottom of the home page insists that I am a visitor from the Rhondda. In reality I am in Norfolk, the other side of the country. Does anyone else have a strange location?

It's based on where your ISP tells the database your IP address is. My guess is your ISP is based in Rhondda.

Mystery solved as I seem to be all over the country whenever I have looked at that... pity we cannot in some cases be transported to those places for a change of scene and when relevant to do some local research [grin]
