Well as you're all being so exact...
Knebworth, Hertfordshire, England.
It's a small place - ask my mum nicely and she'll make you a cup of tea and a ham sandwich.
(She's the one with her hands on her belly - my dad is the tortured soul next to her - ask anyone they'll know)

Blimey, do we all have to be so precise?
I'm usually in the UK, although I'll be in Boston, MA, USA and then Los Angeles (I'm assuming there's only one LA, but it's also in the USA in case there's any doubt) at some point in the next month.
This morning I was towards the northern end of Cambridge (UK). I own a house there in fact, but you wouldn't know it to track my movements: right now I'm in West London (Brentford to be precise, and no it really is in West London - you're thinking of Brentwood), for dinner I think I'm going to be in Putney (SW London) and then later I'm off to Wimbledon (also SW London, but slightly more S and less W). I plan to spend most of tomorrow back in Brentford, but will be in Richmond (W London) in the evening. The day after I'm working in Brentford again, but will be meeting some friends in a pub in Cambridge. Slightly annoyingly I have to be in Brentford *again* the following day. The day after that I have to be in Hethel (Norfolk, UK)...
One of the benefits of the Internet is supposed to be that it doesn't tie you down geographically. However since for most of the last six months my itinerary has looked pretty much like the above, I have to say there probably is something to be said for geographic stability.

Didn't use ffmike's staple forums? The ones with all the information in them?
Rochester, NY, USA, or thereabouts.

I'm in the UK.
To be specific, I'm in Harefield Road, Swaythling, Southampton, Hampshire, England, United Kingdom, The EU, Europe, The Northern Hemisphere, Earth, The Solar System, The Milky Way, The Universe.
Assuming, that is, that there's only one universe.
BTW, how about expanding this page like the catergories part of H2G2, eg. have seperate counties for the UK.

How exactly did ffmike get all this info anyway...I'm sure there are other Indians out there too...there's a friend of mine known as smart_guy on H2G2, maybe he's the other one, though he's not been here for a long time.
