Geography and profiles

Dear all,

A post about insurance made me think about something I had mentioned several times in the past, pre-COVID I think.

Insurance for travel and treatment options are good examples of how things can vary for us from country to country.

To get the best responses from the community please consider updating your profile to show which country you are in. For somewhere like USA including state may help.

The risk is that if you do not add your country the responses you get could be slightly inaccurate or just wrong.

If you don't want to fill out your profile for some reason then include the information in your post/question please

All the very best to everyone. rob

Hi Rob,

Hope all is well with you, and the veg patch about to spring.

Interesting post. In my case I've got concern that the town I chose to live in many years ago may have unfortunate consequences regarding healthcare provision and hence outcomes.

Balancing that against security though we do have to take care on not locating ourselves too accurately.

Best wishes,

Ernest (from somewhere at the Northern end of Oxfordshire in the UK)

Hi Ernest,

I think there are several things that do come into play here. However, personally, declaring country is probably enough for most things. I quite understand some people would prefer not to be too specific and think that is reasonable.

I had to think seriously before my much publicised recent news item, but in that case I decided I would accept the risk of sharing more detail.

Cold here, keep looking at the veg plot and then not going out thinking "warm weather just around corner, I'll wait". Need to chit potatoes as they arrived a few days ago.

best, rob

Chitting the potatoes sounds a good compromise 😁

I need to move house first and find a suitable bungalow. When/if and only that's sorted out I definitely need to switch to growing veg. There will be a lot to learn. That should help keep the grey matter exercised.

Definitely warmer here today. Still got two hats on but taken off a jacket.

Best wishes,

Ernest

Thanks for saying this. I always look for the country to see if there is anything useful I can add before commenting.
