We do have several members across the Pond. If you go to the left side of your screen you will see a list. Near the bottom it says "Goodies". click on that. Then look for "ATP member map" and click. Once that comes up you can enlarge or shrink as needed. When you mouse over a red tag you will see the ATP member name for that location. You can call anyone to this thread by simply placing an "@" in front of their member name. Not all members are active so they may not respond. But it is your best shot to get "locals" who perhaps have the best direct knowledge of your area.
I went to the map and looked for the five closest to Birmingham.

@lilymanrob
@barbwire8u
and of course you (to show you how the @ feature works)
@feifeif84
Now you can go to the map and call out to fellow countryman and see if they respond.
Also, you can contact the members direct by treemailing them. That is the email feature of this site.
Again
