How did I get to the UK?

When I answer questions, nowhere (that I can see) does it say which country I am answering from. It just says Verizon Yahoo! Answers. Yet when I get a notification that I have received a best answer, the notice says Yahoo! Answers with UK & Ireland under it. When I click on the "take me to Yahoo" button, the Yahoo it takes me to also has UK & Ireland under Yahoo! Answers.

I have clicked on the little American flag at the bottom of the page, but that seems to do nothing. How did I get to the UK, and how do I get back to the USA!

    Sometimes by answering a question or emailing a person (through Yahoo Answers), we get "teleported" to a different part of Yahoo Answers. If you click the US flag at the bottom of the page, you SHOULD get a page of Yahoo Answers that says ONLY "Yahoo! Answers" at the very top, without any additions to that logo. Clicking the UK flag sends you back to the UK, with THEIR logo at the top. Same for the other flags.
