Where Are You From?

[submaniac]

Submaniac's informal poll to get a general idea of where everyone is from, and a rough idea of TV's general demographics. Keep in mind I don't have an unlimited number of poll options and I really don't feel like going through a world map to list each and every country so I grouped it by general area and language. This is just to see where the majority of folks on Thaivisa are from.

And maybe people could post replies (instead of just the poll) stating which specific country they are from.

I have just voted (I am from the UK) along with 12 other people.

I am old but if I remember from school 11 votes were actually cast so presumably the other 2 were null and void.

How odd.

[fred2007]

Yes just voted too

Since I had only one choice I voted for the country

I lived most of my life

[onionluke]

Can I sell my vote ?

[trevorg]

England

The merry old land of Oz.

Can I sell my vote ?

I offer 300 Baht.

But if you are smart you sell the vote multiple and vote for who paid most :lol:

[h90]

It is not fair for us Germanic and Scandanavian as with that much options we are mostly to drunk to hit the right button.

[soundman]

I'd have to agree, they've managed to blend the best and worst aspects of Germany, France and Italy into one! I've been there a few times, some bits I hated, others I loved!

West London, but I had a Geordie girlfriend/fiancee from Fenham for 9 years and spent many happy times in your wonderful city! Especially the big market and quayside - I still have my Cooperage membership card! (My Geordie accent is better in real life than in text)

Sorry OP if we're wandering OT!

The votes seems to be stacking up for the 'Brits' at the moment, whether that's a good thing or not I'm unsure!

Have you never been to Whitley Bay?

[Boater]

why was ' My Mum ' not an option

[sirineou]

If you ain't Dutch you ain't much.. So i'm Dutch.

So how much are you?

[Beetlejuice]

I am half English and half American. A complete Yanker.

The only difference between the yanks and the Brits is that the Americans have more money.

But to the Thais we are all from farangland and speak Faranganese, so what difference does it make?

I guessed that the majority would be from the British Isles, the first European third world country. The white population are leaving in a droves, that’s sad really.

[aristo]

Ehm... i'm from eurasia,,, does this count?

[welsh1]

Wales ...where men are men and sheep get frightened

Switzerland is not a Germanic country
