Is there any chance of breaking Wales down into regions. Not much help when you post a meet in North Wales and end up with people from Cardiff messaging you. That's almost 200 miles away

And is there any chance of putting the likes of Shrewsbury into its proper West Midlands region instead of it appearing in Wales! It's in England - causes a nightmare and you end up changing post code to Telford 20 miles away just to be in correct region !

South Wales | Central London | Belfast | Leeds | Birmingham

Keeping swansea in with West Wales doesn’t work for me.

I would travel east to Cardiff before travelling West

West wales profiles show in the swansea local updates and it doesn’t feel right

Aberystwyth having an SY (Shrewsbury) postcode is incredibly stupid. It’s feckin’ MILES away.

It also caused me no end of grief and lost me the love of my life (long story).

But before that :-

There is only one England

Only one Scotland

Only one USA

Only one France

come on admin. Think of all those states/counties/department

That could be given separate listing.

And then there are people living near a county/state border. Better go North, South, East,and West as well

Or people could just use the "people near me " setting ?

Yes we think this would be a really good idea.

There's a lot of geographical ignorance we have to deal with in Wales. Like when your mobile phone provider can't fix your problem on the phone and tell you to go to their shop - well out the dozens they closed in the last 5 years there were 3 left in all of Wales. The nearest - an hour away! It grinds the gears.

What people posted about the 'SY' postcode strengthens the case for the WA to overhaul postcodes in Wales entirely, in my opinion. Postcodes are an incredibly flawed system anyway because they're used for way more things than was ever intended when they were created. There's little to no logic applied and no forward-thinking at all.

Having Welsh regions on Fab would be good. As some tiny forgotten retailer once said 'Every little helps'.

Maybe using STD codes is an idea?
