[Avodah] minhag avos

[Rich, Joel]

I once met an English Jew (in England, not EY) who said that he waited 3 hours after meat because that is minhag Anglia.  Perhaps that was the case a century ago, but with the pre- and post-war influxes of Jews from Eastern Europe, I am doubtful whether there is still such a thing as minhag Anglia, any more than there is a minhag America.
