Real UK sellers did not make a fuss about it.

A careful look at the language usually gives a hint too.

People worried about Internet ghosts? OK, no more funny avatars and silly names. Starting from today I have a name, a face and a country (oops, it's not Botswana). Happy now?

I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?

Interesting debate though... I tend to look at the flags to get an idea of how local someone is. Not everyone uses the same voltage / frequency, so if someone in the US is recommending a particular piece of equipment, I check to see if it is available in Non US voltage.

But at the same time you can trust that little flag too much and take what you see for granted. Pro's and cons to both sides.
