Ipswich play some decent football and deserve to go up in consecutive seasons.
They'll get battered in the PL, mind...
I've got a carrot-crunching mate who has a season ticket at Portman Road so I should be pleased for him, but as you say he'll just spend his Saturdasy watching them get beaten like a ginger stepchild :-(Quote:

I always imagined I'd retire up that way, i. Big skies, you see? Good flying country, not many lumps to bump in to. Nowadays I'm more concerned about whether land is cheap for horses.Quote:

Avoid Ipswich, of course. It's a complete shÃ*t-tip.
cheaper in Norfolk than Suffolk, I'd say
I have to go to Kings Lynn fairly regularly for work. Liz Truss is the local MP......Quote:

Wells-next-the-Sea - another great little place. French's fish and chips :eat:
Full of bleeding tourists these days...
The Harper is in a village called Langham which appeared to have the hotel, a sister pub and houses and nothing else. Very attractive houses, mind.Quote:

Lavenham is actually in Suffolk but well worth a visit. Feels like England in Shakespearean times. And the Swan has an Airmen's Bar in it with all things USAF related for WW2 for those interested in such things. Lovely spot.
Kings Lynn.Quote:

I think that's what it says on their town signs..
Lavenham is about 30 mins from us. The Guildhall is fairly spectacular.Quote:

It is a gigantic pain in the arse. Takes bloody hours! And the people are the most difficult I have ever had to work with.Quote:
