I've been doing work on a Lincolnshire based website and I've noticed that when I search for 'window cleaner in boston', the local business centre map appears at the top of the listings with Boston USA, even when searching 'pages from the UK', it still gives me a US map of Boston!

Gan we all send Google an email saying "Oi! Slackers!  There was a Boston over here long before you lot borrowed all our place names... Sort it out!"  police

Ye, that happened to me too, altough I was using google.ie, and search for some services in Dublin, I mean Google must know there is Dublin in Ireland right? , turned out the first few pages were from Eire, and the rest were from the US. Lol
