Talk:East Anglia

message: This is the first I've heard that East Anglia is semi-autonomous or has it's own regional assembly. Perhaps it's refering to the East of England regional assembly , which includes more than just East Anglia, has very little (if any) power, and isn't elected (and probably won't be for the forseeable future). -- Joolz 17:07, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Semi autonomous?

message: A recent edit speaks of a "candidate for arms of East Anglia". The use of arms in England is strictly controlled by the College of Arms: it is not sufficient for some people to identify a likely candidate and adopt it. As far as I am aware, arms are granted (for a large fee) to individuals, establishments such as universities, corporations and similar bodies. I am not sure that arms can be granted to a vaguely-defined geographical area. If that did happen, it would be very unclear who had the right to use the arms. Bluewave 17:30, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

message: This article describes Norwich as being the only city and largest settlement in East Anglia whilst also referring to Cambridge and Peterborough as being in within East Anglia. This seems to be a contradiction as both are cities and and Peterborough is larger than Norwich.

thread_title:  Settlements 

message: I live in the Boston area (that's Boston, Massachusetts), and we have a very distinctive 'Boston' accent that includes among other things dropping the '-er' at the end of words and replacing it with '-a', so that for example 'father' is pronounced like 'fatha'. I have been told that the accent persists locally because the original settlers to the region came from East Anglia.
Do East Anglians have this same accent?
By the way, there are some very familiar locality names here e.g. Norfolk and Suffolk counties, Cambridge, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.160.155.199 (talk) 15:07, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Yorkshirian recently added this new version of an old map to this article; it was removed by Deacon of Pndapetzim and re-added by Yorkshirian.  I'd like to replace it with this map instead, which doesn't use boundaries.    The changes were made to several articles, so to centralize discussion, please post at Talk:Mercia#Map if you have an opinion. Mike Christie (talk) 02:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

message: King Edmund was killed by the Danes in 869 according to the King Edmund article, but in 870 according to the present article. Which is it? I believe the correct date is 869. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle regularly places the New Year in September, so the entry for A.D. 870, which describes Edmund's death, probably refers to the winter of 869.

message: In the article, it says that parts of East Anglia are semi-arid. I have seen two contenders for the title of "driest place in the UK", St. Osyth and Clacton-on-Sea, and neither of those places are even close to being semi-arid. For now, I will not remove the statement in question, but I would love some examples of places classified as semi-arid, with climate data. If I don't see any within a reasonable amount of time (at least 1 week), I will remove the statement, as looking at what are called the driest places in the UK, seeing as they're not close to being semi-arid, this statement seems patently ridiculous. 1brettsnyder (talk) 23:13, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Last time I was around St Osyth, I recall walking though a lot of lush knee-high grass. So not semi-arid. Edit: although on second thoughts maybe that was just because it was near water. 92.24.189.222 (talk) 20:50, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Maybe much of the confusion about which counties are or are not in East Anglia comes from people thinking that Eastern England is the same as East Anglia. 92.24.191.1 (talk) 10:14, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confused with Eastern England 

message: I'm aware that the whole Essex-in-East-Anglia issue raises strong feelings. However, I really think we do need to revisit it: the article is currently very confused on this matter, with Essex omitted from the lede but mentioned in several places elsewhere as if it were the part of the region. Can anyone think of a constructive way forward with this, bearing in mind the long discussions above? Barnabypage (talk) 16:20, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've suggested creating WikiProject East of England and merging the current 3 projects in this area : Wikipedia:WikiProject East Anglia, Wikipedia:WikiProject Bedfordshire and Wikipedia:WikiProject Hertfordshire.

replies: text: Essex is part of the East of England governmental region, but it certainly isn't part of East Anglia, either culturally or historically, and it isn't mentioned in the article. The map needs to be changed.Gymnophoria (talk) 19:00, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Essex revisited 

message: Similarly to Essex, Cambridge should not be included as generally people do not consider Southern Cambridge and, without a doubt, Huntingdonshire as being part of EA. As with Northern Essex, only the Fenland and parts of East Cambridge are historically considered part of East Anglia which is the minority of the county. Therefore this page and map should be revised to the true boundaries. 87.115.182.153 (talk) 23:02, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Cambridgeshire in East Anglia

message: This article is mis-named. East Anglia, in normal English usage, refers to Norfolk and Suffolk, or to the ancient kingdom, not to statistical region that most people will never have heard of. DuncanHill (talk) 13:19, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
