Read your link smudge, and unlike you have only been on here since August. The register details actually ask for your country of origin, which is rather ambiguous if it relates to where you are residing. I was born in England, but could now be living anywhere else in the world, so to say "country of origin" if they are asking for your location should be rephrased !! lol. Perhaps "country of residence" would be more appropriate.
I agree antiguru it can be quite misleading for some especially in Food & Drink....Graham crackers / Digestive Biscuits, Chips / crisps, Biscuits / Scones to name but a few differences between USA and Britain!!!
