Currently near Bury St Edmunds with work. Ipswich tomorrow. Not spent much time in this part of the world before. There’s some really odd folk round here. 

When I was in lovely old Notlob, we used to manufacture specialised pump drive gearboxes (my very own design) for pea harvesting machines for a company there called Shelbourne Reynolds.

Consequently, I spent quite a lot of time down there through the R&D process and, even though I fell in love with the general area (not far from Newmarket and some great little places like Huntingdon) there is absolutely no doubt that there are some really strange fuckers live around the BSE area. Worzel Gummidge-esque would probably get close to describing it.

There appear to be three jobs round there. Growing sugar beet, plucking chickens and slaughtering pigs. Never realised what a moody place Ipswich was until I spoke with some locals today. Serious knife-crime/gang violence issue that never gets reported nationally. Always thought of the it as a "sleepy" area. Not at all

Have a great trip people, lovely city, with some belting boozers. Let’s hope we can get a result to lift the gloom, though I fear any respite will be very short lived. Get to the games and support them while we still have a club to support. My lot can’t make it today for various reasons so we have focused our sights on a New Year’s Day mini bus trip to Hull. We’ll be dragging our creaking bones round the old town and market areas, starting off in The Minerva (perfect planning prevents piss poor performance an’ all that). Had some rum do’s in this place back in the day!!
