But it would generally be useless unless it's a static IP allocated... most geolocation software with dynamic IPs gives the location of the host, ie Sky.

When I looked it seemed to be from the Aberdare area, but again the searches aren't to be trusted really.
If I do that it with mine it tells me I'm in Leicestershire or somewhere!

In some cases yes. There is also a latitude and longtitude on the page. Easy enough with a sat nav or a map that has the info on. I also used to have a program that would give the readings on your cursor in google maps. Handy for locating wrecks at sea etc. Works well on land too.
It's the mods who have access to the IP though addy.

I don't think so. Sometimes you can get a rough location, but these days more often that not it will just the hosts location, as in Merlins post above.
Don't worry, I don't think any of the mods will come knocking on your door!
