Re: OT: baloney and cheese

As a native "East Anglian"...! I have to point out that East Anglia isn't a
county, ancient or modern. It's just a convenient catch-all term for the
general area North and East of London. It is generally held to be composed
of the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, with perhaps Essex
and Hertfordshire included depending on how you feel. To me personally, East
Anglia is just Norfolk and Suffolk.
