May 1st, nobody's here to fix it.

They should relocate it to The Netherlands, we don't celebrate Labour Day. Instead we celebrate the King's birthday. In the weekend.

"West Europe" is located in the Amsterdam area. "North Europe" is in Dublin.

Started at 09:39 UTC, it's 12:54 now and they're still reporting problems. Luckily for us our services in Western Europe seem unaffected.

They really need to fix the non-sensical "North" and "West" Europe naming.

Amsterdam is western Europe, yes, but so is the UK and Dublin where their "North" Europe region is. A better name would be Central Europe, perhaps?

I'm not even sure what North Europe is? I guess it could be either Sweden, Scotland or maybe Iceland?

Northern Europe is the British Isles, Iceland, Scandinavia, Finland, and the Baltic countries, according to the UN's statistical definition of European regions. Here's a map: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Europe_subregion_map...

Western Europe in that scheme is France, Germany, Benelux, Switzerland, and Austria.

The EU's grouping, on the other hand, while mostly the same, puts the British Isles into Western Europe: http://eurovoc.europa.eu/drupal/?q=request&uri=http://eurovo...
