I think having it at the top makes sense for certain sites, but not all. It depends on how likely it is for someone to arrive at the wrong country site. I agree about YouTube, they have an overaggressive country/language sniffer that doesn't seem to be able to remember preferences. Hey Jannie,

Thanks for the comment. I think having it at the top makes sense for certain sites, but not all. It depends on how likely it is for someone to arrive at the wrong country site.
