Me? I'm a UK national and I live in the UK but I suspect that some
other users are mere Colonials.

Hands Up! (by way of a Comment) Where are you?

*raises hand up*

I'm in the United States, just across the pond, but I don't think that
"mere" colonials gives us justice to the amount of comaraderie we
share on the battle field and off. You say torch, we say flashlight,
you say lift, we say elevator, you say answerphone (I'll never get
that), we say answering machine. We're not much more different than
that. We enjoy a healthy dose of Elizabeth Hurley, and I'm sure you've
blushed once or twice at the wink and pucker of Marilyn Monroe.

Please Probonopublico, just remember the Americans are ex-colonials. 
Give them some more time, they will see the error of their ways and
return to the fold.
Regards, Kemlo.

I live in Oklahoma, which some regard as part of the United States.

Others view Oklahoma as merely "Baja Kansas."

And still others (the great majority) pay no attention to us Okies at all.

By way of explanation:

I assume you're asking about the national origins of those who post
questions on Google Answers; although I most often serve on the other
side of the exhange, I do qualify as a GA customer, since I've asked

I haven't signed up as an expert, but I read about half the question
sumaries and comment on about 2%. My guess is 60% USA, 10% Canada, 5%
Austrailia 10% other United Kingdom and 15% divided between more 100
countries. I am in Jacksonville, Florida, USA.   Neil

Hi, Pinky

I've been to Oklahoma (to a place called Tulsa) but I never saw you.
Were you deliberately avoiding me?

Very disappointed with Oklahoma ... Nothing like the musical ... No
horses or Surreys with a fringe on top.

Bryan,

I am sorry I missed you when you came to Tulsa, the town in which I
was born and raised, and in which one day I will surely die.

If you saw a pink glow in the vicinity of Riverside Drive, well, that
was my aura.

The horses and the surrey with the fringe on top are actually ten
miles west of Tulsa, at a delightful outdoor dinner theatre called
Discoveryland USA. All summer long, Discoveryland presents
beautifully-choreographed productions of... you guessed it... Rodgers
& Hammerstein's "Oklahoma!"

Hi, Pink

I saw the pink glow ... without ever realising ... but I recall
singing 'I'm only 24 Minutes from Pinky' ...

Masculine intuition?

And I'm a Scotsman, living in Fife, and working in Edinburgh, where I
get to walk past the famous castle every day. Its allure pales after
the twentieth consecutive day of rain :)
