COMMENT Not in the Jersey where I live, it isn't.We still speak the Queen's English and also Jersey-French. I really do wish that you Americans, posting on Lists with an international readership,- would remember that if there is a "New Anyplace" in your US place names - then there is an original "Anyplace" - likely back in one of the "old countries" That forgetfulness/ignorance is one reason why my mail from the States sometimes takes weeks to get here, while the USPostal Service tries to find my address more than 3000 miles from where I actually live! It's also the reason why part of my sign-off is usually "dwelling in 'old' Jersey". Anf you'd be surprised at the number of queries that causes, from those whose grasp of Geography & History is somewhat lacking.
