It certainly suggests thatif you are on a fixed IP your town at least is
known. I'd be interested to hear also from those on a dynamically
allocated IP address how accurate it is.

Fixed IP here, and it's 150 miles out, suggesting Nottingham.
Usually, sites guess I'm in Bracknell (where my ISP is),
but the suggestion from this site has no relationship with
with anything I can think of.

Ah, worked it out - it thinks I'm in Arnold (near Nottingham),
which it's presumably got confused with Andrews & Arnold, my

a silly question, your email is for demon and you are not using thier
news server. does demon no
longer have a new server? back in the day, they had the best news server in the country.

You have to be bloody joking.

Depends on the time window you pick... once they had built their

scalable server it was also ok. However that couple of years in the
