Below are the official definitions of English Regions, as taken from the 'Regional Development Agencies Act 1998'. I do not necessarily think we should adopt these regional definitions; they are neither well-known locally nor do they have much relevance to travel or tourism. However knowledge of them may be useful where there are judgement calls to make. -- Chris j wood 13:13, 19 Jul 2004 (EDT)
