Network of rivers for East Anglian women (7,6)
Apart from the non-PC use of "women", the definition, is, for the majority, just wrong.

I dont like this word for "women" either, though some slang I dont mind.

Most of them aren't rivers - in fact rivers don't even flow through them. They are flooded peat-diggings.

i haven't seen rosalind here for a while - i hope that she is ok

Chrise

Yes lets hope so.

A couple of gems from this week:
'...lay of the land...' (BBC news reporter)
