There's a rather more profound reason than which offence it is. I once saw an American woman with

At all of them?

A large enough sample to be sure

Why is there an East Anglia? Don't recall ever hearing of a West Anglia, or Central Anglia?

Or did I flunk geography badly . . . .

College in Kings Lynn

Its unwise to extrapolate a sample of one, no matter how large she was, to the whole population ;-)

Helen, not sure what's happened here, but following the above url took me to an article on an
arsonist, which I presume isn't anything to do with the 'hit & run' of your subject line. Such is
the power of the 'net. Dave.

Thaks Dave - in that case the original URL has been changed, 'cos when I did the conversion into the
tinyurl, I did a check to see if it would take me to the correct article.

The news has now moved further - a woman has been arrested. Which could explain the move of the
original story.

"WOMAN BAILED OVER HIT-RUN CRASH A woman has been arrested over a hit-and-run accident in
Peterborough which left a cyclist seriously hurt.

Pauline Hills, 58, from the Paston area of the city, suffered head and leg injuries after the
collision with a car which did not stop at the scene.

A 28-year-old Peterborough woman was arrested for failing to stop. She has been bailed pending

I got a story about a woman cyclist fighting for her life after being hit by a metallic green car
which drove off

That must be the one. When we get mown down by motor vehicles, as we do from time to time, we can at
least subscribe the driver's behaviour to stupidity, inattention, anger, arrogance or some other
human failing. Racing off from the scene, however, is sub-human.

Thanks for that. Top tip of the day: Enclose long URLs in <angle

There were East Angles (East Anglia), Middle Angles (now East Midlands), North Angles (Northumbria).
Its arguable that the Mercians were the West Angles - Bede says the Mercians were of Angle decent.

Put "East Angles, Middle Angles" into Google for a reasonable list of links.

NC - from the land of the south folk angles, near the border with the east saxons.

Some online newspapers use permanent unique identifiers for stories, some don't. I suspect this one
had an identifier for the main story on page X, or whatever, which will change day-to-day or
week-to-week.
