Counties not regions

I think it would be a good idea to have a search facility whereby one could search by county or more than one county rather than regions.

Yes, much more precise and the regions are anyway very big areas, far too big to be honest.

I don't think individual counties are needed. Some are way too small. But I think we should have about 15 regions.

While it sounds like a nice idea, it relies on people filling in their profile information honestly. There seems to be a lot of towns/vilages/cities scattered across the UK called “nearby”. In computing there is an old saying “garbage in = garbage out” and if people don’t or won’t fill in their profile honestly then searches won’t work properly.

if people do not use a genuine place name then the system should not accept it

Well that would then require the system to validate the “town” name that users enter against a list (which the site owners would need to compile first of every city, town and village in the UK) - but that would not stop people putting in the name of another town which might or might not be nearby, so again you are back to people being honest in the first place.

"Three words "

As w3w resolves to a 3m square the site would need to resolve this to a city/town/village name to display that without giving away your exact location (data privacy issues).

How about basing areas around the regional tv areas e.g. BBC North-West Tonight / ITV Granada type areas? That would work by combining several counties together of course. Wales you would need to split into South, Mid and North I guess.

I’d prefer the county split, at the moment, I’m in Hampshire but that’s in the South East, along with Essex, a mere 2 hour drive away…..

Definitely need more regions, London has its own but the north covers to large an area

Trouble is “London” seems to cover everywhere in England south of “North” - so can be anywhere from Dover to Penzance (east to west) and Isle of Wight to Birmingham (south to North) which is also a huge area.

Totally agree as we are in Flint, North Wales. When we search Wales it is all Southern and North West is not covering our area

I search using postcode, eg NN1 is central Northampton. Then set the distance you’ll travel. Better than searching on West Mids, where fab reckons it is!!

It’s not going to happen I’ve asked for years that the East Midlands region is far too large. And an East Anglia necessary

Maybe I'm on the wrong road here but I don't get the problem. In browse you can search right down to a 5 mile radius. Doesn't need to be a city either, for instance if I search on, say,tooting,or ealing broadway, it works.

The issue is not just using the browsing function it effects the meets section too. But this has been requested more times than I've given blow jobs and for many years. Its never been implemented probably because its too costly and time consuming to do retrospectively. I suspect it would require every members profile to be amended manually.
