OK, I'm in. Can't see the map, though. Probably because I'm on a pre-OS X Mac (using the highest IE version I can). Just a blank white space where the map should be. Typical problem I have lately since many sites are not compatible with older macs.

Tell me if I show up on the map, you who can see it!

Sorry to sway topic here CH ... but for those Catters who do not know what Canadians from the Maritime provinces and Newfoundland are called .. well here is a list ... please add if I have forgotten any:

Maritimers
Coasters
East coasters
Capers (Cape Breton)
Acadians
Newfies
People from the Rock (Newfoundlanders)
Islanders (Prince Edward Island)
Atlantic Canadians (politically correct)
Buddy (anyone from the Maritimes, er Atlantic Canada)usually only an Atlantic Canadian has the right to call this to another Atlantic Canadian.

You are correct Carol. When the provinces of the East are mentioned the Atlantic Provinces include Newfoundland. Not so if refered to the Maritimes. They also refer to us as other things as you can well imagen. Can you tell the other catters who don't know, what we 4 provincial people are called??

JtS and all of his family (and I would imagine the rest of the Newfoundlanders) refer to themselves as being a part of "Atlantic Canada", and they call themselves "Atlantic Canadians". I had that one pointed out to me fairly early on.

Just a technicality BigPinkLad (you are very observant and knowledgeable) ... I was aware of that when I posted ... but to the rest of Canada anyone living east of Quebec is considered a Maritimer.

Seems to work just as well on Firefox as it does on IE. Maybe there are some features I haven't tried where that doesn't apply, but so far I've seen no difference.

I note that the world map seems to have some problems in recognising, for example, that the two North Americas it displays are actually the same North America, since only one of them apparently has anybody living there...

Maybe postcodes in the UK are more localised - when I enter mine into a internet map site the arrow points right where I live. Full post codes are specific to a small group of houses in the same street.

No problem really - after all when we give our house address to anyone that takes them right to your front door, if they feel so inclined.   But if people are worried about getting stalked or whatever, best leave out the end bit of the post code, so it's a bit less specific, at least if you are in the UK.

Other than that this seems an excellent addition to the Mudcat (along with the Mudcat flickr group that InOBU has just set up.)

He particularly likes the lack of snow. And like you, he also finds similarities between the people back home and the people here in the US south. Politeness being foremost among them, and a 'salt of the earth' kind of thing.
