I struggle with the regions Fab lists when you’re looking for meets. They’re quite vague.

For example, where’s Milton Keynes?

I don’t mean literally, I know where to find it on a map. But in Fab world, which region is Milton Keynes in? South East? South West? Greater London? I haven’t a clue …

Borough of Greenwich

London ...enough said .

It's 24 miles across at some point and borders at least 6 counties ( possibly 8 if we're being pedantic) so having Greater London doesn't help.

What are the 12 regions of the UK map?

This comprises Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland as individual regions, and England divided into 9 separate regions. These are London, North East, North West, Yorkshire, East Midlands, West Midlands, South East, East of England and South West.

You can't search Ireland by postcode, only by county.

In Northern Ireland if I search using a radius of more than 40 miles, the vast majority of results are in Scotland or the North of England.

There is no East Anglia. However when adding a meet you get options of Post Code and Location. The areas are just too big

We are East Midlands on here, which in my head would be probably Leicester - we are near Cleethorpes which is East Lincolnshire but that doesn’t exist on FAB,

I mean East Yorkshire would be more appropriate than East Midlands but here we are, nowhere near the Midlands

Sagittarius A

The regions take it in turns to adopt Milton Keynes, it's only fair to share the burden.

I always find it interesting that the North West is actually the middle of the UK but somewhere else is called the Midlands.

Why doesn't England get included in the descriptors like Wales and Scotland? I mean try saying Ireland without the Northern preface see how far that gets you. Actually, that goes down like a lead balloon in Wales too.

I hope that clears it up for you, glad to be of service.

I have to say that I agree with you. I've never really posted an 'Add a Meet'. Well, I did, last Saturday for the MLS, ostensibly as a general broadcast to those who were attending, as opposed to actually looking for meet. But anyway, I was flummoxed with the regions and not quite clear on the locales. I considered posting one yesterday whilst in Sheffield but still none the wiser.

Reading

Sometimes when checking distance on fab profiles. Have to give double take at distance from me. Yes if on mobile could be closer than say actual profile area.

I actually was bored and used a map and compass from where I live distances of 5,10,15,20 and twenty five radius miles. Results differed a lot from fab distances. So now try to check place on profile and then search online to see distance.
