    Very bored at work so apologies for a non-football thread. I see from the BBC that Suffolk is going to re-brand itself as Curious Suffolk. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19959510

    This is not the adjective I would use. Of the politer ones that sprang to my mind I would go with Suffolk Step back in History to reflect the binners obsession with the past. However I am sure wittier minds than mine can come up with better slogans to market Suffolk.

    Clearly whoever thought up this rebranding wheeze has taken their cue from you JWM. Whatever happened to "Suffolk'n Good"?

    When I was a kid living in Suffolk, I was always told that it was "silly Suffolk!" I see one of the comments at the bottom of that report explains that it is, in fact, selig Suffolk, but selig is pronounced as silly!

    As a Suffolk native, I think it should just be called 'boring as **** Suffolk.' Not very touristy though.

    Suffolk must be one of the only counties without a City.

    From reading that article I'd have to go for "The Bucolic County of Suffolk"...

    I've gone my whole life without ever knowing that word exists, then see it at least twice in the one article! (casual use of defunct words would be a definite pick if I ever get asked to appear on Room 101)

    Its that lack of cathedrals Redruth!

    What's the difference between a town and city really, ie those
    Big towns that don't have city status. Is Ely a city because it has a cathedral?

    Only good things in Suffolk are the fishing beaches and the fish and chips at Dunwich

    Suffolk - it's not Norfolk but it's a hell of a lot better than Essex.
