David,
Nope, I don't mean your posts. I am referring to the way quite a few UK members preface their subject drifts to make clear that they only desire input from the UK crowd.
By common consensus, the Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Swedish and Netherlands members all write in English. Oh, sure some German and Greek shows up here occasionally, but we try hard to be open for everyone to understand us.
Hardly a month or two go by without someone either commenting 'well, I see the moment a UK respondent writes in, the thread dies' or a similar posting to this one's orginal query as to why nobody is answering.
I don't know, maybe I'm way out of line here and its ok and normal for one set of participants to exclude all the others...just, it doesn't feel right to me.
Of course, not all UK members do this, don't get me wrong.
Still, I wonder if there's a valid reason for this segregation? Truly vintage UK appliances are fascinating and, sadly, one can hardly make the argument that any modern UK appliances are in any way special or different from the Alltagssuppe, if I may be permitted a pretty clear German phrase, which pass for white goods now-a-days in Europe.
