Ok I've taken a cloer look into this, the IP in question is showing the city as Manchester but the ISP as Bromley. A little further investigation reveals that Bromley uses a huge infrasturucture based in guess where... Bromley Kent.
I was not suspicious until seasmoislegend attacked me as a plastic when I posted about Messi last night, but I guess what really got his back up was that I said Bayern's glorious 2nd goal last was the perfect tonic to the thrashing in Barcelona. I was told I was plastic and was not there - seems like a strong over reaction to a post about Messi. Then I was accused of being a Plastic Manc myself which seems an obvious attempt to thorw us off the scent don't you think?
Before he is banned we should perhaps give he/she a chance to prove us wrong. How about requesting a message hand written next to a shirt? We can all look up bus routes and road names on Google Maps afterall.
Perhaps I'll leave others to request what should be written and where.
As a side note, bear in mind that users can uses Proxies to hide there real location however in this case the IP does clearly orginate in Manchester but is being routed via Bromley's NTL/Virgin network!
