Hello and welcome to WP as, my interests are varied and I feel somewhat time about speaking of them though, may you find your time here to be a most intrinsically nice experience..

I enjoy meeting people from the UK. Actually got to travel there this year. Once out of London we had some problems with the language, but had a lovely time, all-in-all.

And unfortunately, also confirmed my negative suspicions about "welcomes". 
UK here also, Yorkshire. (see, I read the OP's intro ) |
Am confused. Post said anyone wanting to make friends with persons from England/UK, correct? What's with the "fail"?

Dear Nan, if you don't mind me asking? is your username a shortened version of the name Nanette? merely curious as, I mean no offense whatsoever..

In my case, I 'd and also felt somewhat disheartened because neither the OP's name, nor his post topic was addressed in any way. A generic "welcome", with no personalisation to the OP seems a tad like an automated reply....I was in a quandary when i first joined whether to individually thank everyone who posted a welcome, then became GENUINELY convinced that perhaps it wasn't from real people and there was an automated system that generated some of them....  (sorry about that!)

(bolding added by me) Admittedly I originally just gave location...so I also fail.

Hi, Prof. Actually, no, it's not. But I do get asked that from time to time.

Ohhhh, ok.
I saw Tim's response, with his tag lines at the bottom showing some of his interests, noted his age, location from under his avatar... so it didn't make sense.
No, it's just real people here. (I think.  )

Welcome! I'm currently based in Bristol (but I'm not British), writing up my thesis. I paint as a hobby, watch films. I'm 26, male. My avatar is my current favourite fictional character. If I won the jackpot I'd probably move to Scotland or Switzerland and become a full-time painter and maybe learn another language just for fun - first I'd do some traveling though, probably China and all over Europe. My native language is Spanish.

Welcome to Wrong Planet. Nice to see there's a lot of others on here from the UK, there seems to be a lot of Americans on ere i noticed. I'm a 19 year old university student originally from Somerset...

...but I've been living in Bristol for just over a year now. Pbcoll, you're the first Bristolian i've seen on here, nice to see there's at least one other on here! |

| The last time I went to Bristol was when I was at my old college in Swindon. The councilor there took me to the airport to help me study body language. It was interesting. |
