Totteridge/Whetstone

Some of the SY postcode which covers Shropshire is, which is where this is derived from (doesn't make it any less wrong though).

The regions system is a mess. We're moving away from it to use proximity stuff instead e.g. the advanced search page.

Yeah but very few SY codes do and only small parts. 90% is outside of wales. Just makes ppl searching harder as our SY is more midlands

Bradford

The whole of the system is a mess when it comes to areas.

Leeds is supposedly in the North East, Bradford in the north west but with postcodes coving some huge areas I suppose the lines have to be drawn somewhere.

Couldn't it be done by counties ?

Dont see what the issue is.

You can search within 5 miles of your town or post code e.g. "York", "Kettering", "YO8", "N12" using the advance search pages.

thanks admin for taking note. I have posted this issue before.

The main problem I find is when using the map search SY covers such an area that it really isnt local

I do like the map search facility. It just needs amending

Just as Sheffield is not in the East Midlands!

When I search local meets and events I get ones in Cambridge and Ipswich showing up!

Admin have said it's on their to-do list.

SY goes all the way to Aberystwyth. I think that is in Wales, about as far away from England a Welsh person can get

Oswestry

Yes SY does go across to Aberystwyth which is in Wales but most of my messages come from people based in and around Swansea !!!!

As per the above. As we are grouped with locations over 2 hours away do get interest from South Wales which is a bit pointless for most

London

The search within x miles is fine

Does this also apply to local updates?
