Disclaimer
I wish to disassociate myself completely from 'Enid Zaig' or 'enidzaig' found anywhere on the internet other than here, my website, or in relation to the 'Cambridgeshire Collection', or on bona fide 'people finder' websites for the UK. I do not use social network or auction sites at all and I believe my name to be unique. Any other 'Enid Zaig' on the internet is extremely likely to be being scattered about, perversely and despite my request not to, by a person who, on her own admission, has been making use of my name as a tag and pseudonym from as early as 2005.
Enid Zaig - Twickenham - December 2012
