Normal for Norfolk

Todays lead story on the BBC Norfolk newspage hints at the reason why Norfolk doesn't have any representatives on the England's Genius map:

"Charcoal plant fire investigation
Investigators are trying to find out what caused a major fire at one of the country's largest charcoal suppliers. At its height on Saturday, 90 firefighters battled with tons of blazing barbecue charcoal at the Big K site at Whittington in Norfolk. The fire, in buildings covering an area the size of a football pitch, is expected to burn for days.

A company spokesman said it would be business as usual on Monday because they had stocks of charcoal elsewhere."


Investigators are trying to find out what caused a major fire at one of the country's largest charcoal suppliers. Short of the plant being located next to a petrol soaked rag factory, a strike anywhere match plant, and a sandpaper company its a mystery! How on earth would a gigantic barn full of highly flammable briquettes burn to the ground?
