I thought this poll would be better than the other topic.
I don't seem to be able to put more than 10 options on one poll - I'll make another for the south & N.I.

What are we voting for?

If this is for the north, your poll's flawed. There's no option for Yorkshire/BBC Look North!

I new there was one I missed off, I couldn't decide what to call the BBC region!
You are supposed to be voting for your region to see as a whole which regions we are in.

In which case, you've ostracised a region from voting!

Yeah... but why?

Erm, ITV Region and BBC News on our profiles, is that not enough for you?

It was a mistake and you cannot (or I can't) add any more options to a poll.

The idea was from the topic started about regions, it was suggested as a poll if I remember rightly.  It also lets us see which regions the most members live in which cannot be seen from therofiles unless you were to look at each one individually.

Yeah but you can see where everyone come from just by looking to the left of their posts. Looking at them, after a while builds up a pretty good impression of how people are spread out around the country.

It's also difficult to judge by the way you have set up the poll Gareth. For instance, I tend to watch Carlton/LWT and Look East (as shown in my profile to the left) which is not an option with your poll.

I was trying to compress it as much as I could as you can only put 10 options on one poll. Maybe a poll of BBC regions and a separate ITV1 region poll may have been better - I didn't think at the time; I can only receive North West/Granada - it's a bad signal and it's even my 'covered' region!

Carlton/Midlands

Carlton/East Midlands?

What if you think BBC 'East Midlands', as they like to say, is better than Carlton.
Do you mean the entire Carlton Central region, including all three sub-regions? The poll isn't clear enough.

If you are trying to find out which channel is best for regional, then I suggest you just put two options- BBC or ITV1.
