Methinks the postcode search engine needs a bit of attention. If you click on CB, it brings up profiles from as far apart as Colchester to York......I feel sorry for the poor postie who's got this round! |

"I did, and I do, hence my response."
You obviously didn't because the CB search includes, Coventry, Northampton, Chesterfield, Barnsley, Sheffield, Rotherham, Derby and Northampton, to name but a few. All those people appearing in the search from the above towns and cities must be wondering why their response rate is somewhat low. Somebody should tell them they've moved! |

We are from CB (CB3 actually) and find exactly the same problem but I'm not sure it's the search at fault, more people not filling in details properly.
Last time I did a CB search, top 3 posts were from bloody nottingham. |

The problem here is the fact that that people can input anything as their town. So you could put CB has your postcode and Manchester has your town, why people do this is behond me, but their choice I suppose, but you need to use the correct postcode to get found in a search and then if you put another town this will just confuse the searcher!, best idea is just ignore those with the wrong town, will be their loss at the nend of the day! |

Or is it that they want to be found in a North West search?
We are the same technically we live in North Staffordshire, which comes under the West Midlands, but we choose a Cheshire Postcode, so that we are found in North West searches, this is due to the fact that there are more towns and cities in the Northwest that are geographically closer to us than those in the West Midlands. But under the town field of our profile instaed of a town we put Cheshire/North Staffs |
