 Captain Jack Harkness will sort this lot out! |
While you may be sure Cardiff is the capital of Wales, Facebook users in the city were baffled after the social networking website put it in England.
People in Swansea, Wrexham and even the very Welsh sounding Llandrindod Wells were confused too as the location on their profile was also moved there. Over 8,000 users joined campaign groups demanding the locations on their profiles be returned to Wales.
Facebook blamed the problem on a bug and apologised…
Student Alex Smith said his friends had changed their location on their profiles to different Cardiffs elsewhere in the world as a protest.
Mr Smith, 18, said he had been a user of the site almost since it launched in 2004 and the problem had never happened before…
A spokesperson for Facebook said: “There was a bug causing this issue which has been fixed. We apologise to users who were affected.”
Let’s see. Facebook was founded by American college graduates. It’s maintained and run in the GOUSA.
Do you know anyone in the United States who knows squat about geography?
As a Welshman I am kind of used to this. Nobody outside the UK really knows much about us
