Okay. Postcard style. :lol:


Dear Tequila,

I've been doing much better over the past two years and I'm being myself again. However, this postcard is about you and not about me. I've noticed that you want an opinion about what avatar we on WP prefer. I can't speak for the rest of my WP brothers and sisters, but I like the former one the best. It has your name written all over it.

CockneyRebel: The phrase "answers on a postcard please" is actually borne out of 1980s children's television here in the UK. To enter a competition children were asked to send in their answers on a postcard in order to answer a question.

hale_bopp: Yes, it's Northern Ireland - the map is of course of the United Kingdom.

The current one is the old logo of Granada Television, which was my regional ITV station growing up, which in its heyday produced lots of brilliant programming for the whole national ITV network.

ROFLMAO!

You are soooo lucky the IRA has disbanded...
The rest of Ireland should of course be British but the traitors left in a huff muttering something about potatoes.


Tequllia, the old avatar is much more you but I'm biased, I hate it when people keep changing their avatars I don't know who they are afterwards. :(

Meh. Some people think New Zealand is in the mediterranean. I actually meant the united kingdom, not Britain.

I like the Granada one, but I would do, as someone who grew up in Manchester and Preston, it's quite a familiar and friendly symbol to me.
