The skies are amazing in the flat Fenlands....

And British Sugar are a bloody amazing company that employ lots of highly-skilled, local people who have diversified into several, innovative environmental and technological processes too. Its not all unskilled sugar beet harvesting. Sod imported sugar cane.

Give me a real working windmill anyday and local farmers that will happily grow small amounts of ancient cereal crops specially for the miller.

Silly you want the North Norfolk coast...

[Salsaboy]

Norfolk, where your father is your mothers brother.

[Huguenot]

I just had a look at the suicide rates, and Norfolk is only 10% above the national averages - which is surprising.

London is 10% lower than the national average, which tells you a lot about the extensive support network provided by the EDF.

Aldeburgh extremely good for chips.

I'll tell you what I hate about the east: West Ham!

Gammon Quids, I know things are tight but this is takes 'bringing home the bacon' to a new low.

Flat, isn't it.

Does the East include Lincolnshire? My mum lives up there now because it was the cheapest place she could afford to buy a small house. Boston is an eye opener - 30% Polish population, illegal vodka stills and some serious poverty and malnourishment. Mainly agricultural, still mostly with lots of manual labour (cabbage picking for ?3 per hour anyone?). There's no real "spine" of infrastructure either - you're a good 1.5 hrs EAST of the East Coast line, or a decent Motorway. Or any decent shops.

Skegness, once sooo bracing, is now a beyond faded decrepit seaside resort that looks like the set of a real life zombie movie. You can still get a huge fry up for under ?3. And its all very flat. They should really make the whole county into a giant wind farm and be done with it.

Hanseatic networks wither and die. England's Eastern face becomes its slack backside as the country turns to look west and south. Bristol, gorged on the triangular trade, eats Norwich's future.

The east now nothing but a grain and protein store for ravenous London, drilled and reaped for the profit of ducal land owners.

Obsolescent waterways haemorrhage England's lost soul into a forgotten sea.

[Ted Max]

Something like that, anyway.

Think I need a sunbed, as it goes.

[Townleygreen]

Mr Ben, Lincolnshire isn't all flat - you're forgetting the Wolds

[????]

I think Norfolk has two hills too

[Townleygreen]

even Essex has some hills - try cycling through it to find out

Cambs has the Gog and Magog Hills too

[Jah Lush]

Errr....Eastenders, Stepney, Plaistow, Canary Wharf, Limehouse, Bow, the Boleyn Ground or Upton Park or whatever the happy Hammers call it. "I'm forever blowing bubbles." Yeah, right you are.
