Derby and Nottingham are only 12 miles apart. Down the A52 (Brian Clough Way) Forest play Derby in the East Midlands derby

I'm late to the party as always. Is the S-W chain, Boston Tea Party, being considered?

When I drive up the A1 I consider Grantham the start of the North.
Essex is London. We East Angularians would be prepared to accept that bit known as 'Constable Country', but the rest of it can do one. We already have Norfolk to deal with ffs.
Cambridge is not East Anglia, nor is Peterborough. Undecided about Bury St Edmunds 'Britain's Floral Town', has a sort of border feel about it.

I've not heard of a lot of those chains. I live in a sleepy backwater city I guess. Not a bad thing p'raps. We have a lot of independent eateries which I'm v happy about.

Using TRO's rules, East Anglia consists entirely of a small suburb of Ipswich???

TRO, I am from London, Paddington to be exact, and Essex is NOT London, essex people, they are wannabees.
If I go 5 miles East I end up in Derbyshire.
I'll go and vote in R1G18

There's an R1G19 now too. Somehow we'd overlooked Greggs on the start sheet
