Just tried the site, works fast and nicely but...

I searched for 'Birmingham' in the search box. The suggested list included Birmingham UK as well as Birmingham Al and all. Clicked to accept Birmingham UK and got a list of places in Birmingham AL USA.

I understand that the system is based on user reports. But perhaps a way of saying 'nothing for Birmingham UK, did you mean...' might help.

PS: a few below for Birmingham UK

Off peak afternoons good...window benches are nice. Batteries needed. Just up the road from a huge but largely empty co-working space in an old department store that charges huge fees. Wifi OKish

Java Roastery: again best at off-peak times, i.e. mid morning or mid-afternoon. Quite a few one / two people tables. Batteries needed.

Tanzania theme, used to have a lovely long bench against a wall with power sockets and fast wifi. The bench was a COVID victim but power might still be OK. I'm hoping the drop-donuts with cardamom and spices are still on.

Actual co-working space at £75 month or taster £5 for first week if you are passing through... not been there at all as I have an actual house not far away.
