      I'm Scottish but living in Cambridgeshire near Huntingdon. I know what you mean about this forum being mainly USA but I have found that on most forums I go to. They can't help it, there's 300 million of them and only 60 million of us. The rest of the world seem to have wierd and often expensive broadband connections so they are few and far between, except south america, australia and greece????   Go figure, as they would say.

          Can't remember, sure I saw some stats somewhere, possibly on the hubpages blog, unless I am mistaking it for another site. The hubpages team would be able to tell you. There are something like 800,000 registered users here, so 60,000 isn't too unrealistic for a relatively small English speaking world (when considering native tongues).

             It's only a joke . . . (Birmingham is the pits ) don't take it seriously. I am from Liverpool, and there is often a reaction to the stereotype. I am labelled as a Scouser, and people think I drink and fight a lot. Nothing could be further from the truth.
             
             If I have offended you then I apologise, but I think we all need to learn to laugh and take it with a pinch of salt, else there would be no satire and the world would be a sadder place

                            The URL business has nothing to do with anybody, claiming plagiarism or ownership of a URL is complete madness unless it is a registered trademark. Personal insults? Threatening to send a DMCA to google because of URLs, completely ruining that persons business in the process, is about as personal as it gets. Anything you threaten to do on hubpages, about hubs, is the business of hubpages and all of it's members. So that was my business and still is my business.
                            
                            I am also a member of shetoldme.com, and earn money from shetoldme.com, so some idiot threatening to close it IS my business. It would lose me a lot of dofollow backlinks, and some adsense revenue, so it is 100% to do with me and I will make it my business. Why didn't you take the opportunity to talk with James on that thread? Instead of trying to tarnish his name? Get back on there, if you want to start something then go and finish it. He visits that thread, why not go and reply to him?
