The General Conversation Thread

I've just seen this on BBC Breakfast and see that the company that makes these 'flood proof' homes is based at Scottow Business park - https://www.tufeco.com/

A return from Ipswich to Liverpool st peak times is £76 so if they are only charging £8 each way commuting to work in the City will be much more widespread.
Brilliant idea until it conks out halfway between Stratford and Chelmsford miles from either stop 100 metres below the ground.

 

Ahem, It's in the Suffolk Gazette. Think Newsthump, Daily Mash, etc

 

There are plans to build a high speed train from Ipswich to London in 3 and a half minutes.

 

Anything that gets you out of that place quickly must be applauded!

 

Sounds like it is April 1st already.

 

It did not stop at Manningtree, pure fantasy

Tomorrow is the thirtieth anniversary of the Great Storm of 1987.
Anyone remember where they were aon that night (rhetorical question, really)

Large boats at Lancing just lifted out of the sea like balsa wood!
Preston park, which runs alongside the A23 London Road in Brighton was decimated, more trees fallen than standing. Widespread power cuts, too, so unable to open my offie the next day as no power to lights, tills etc - so sat in pub in town supping Hall & Woodhouse tanglefoot all day

And why, exactly, would that surprise you?
It's a logical extension of the 'copy and paste' facility widely used already on the north Norfolk coast - especially in match day threads.

 

This is just sick and heartless - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/sex/pigging-cruel-new-dating-trend-need-know/

 

You really had it hard Cromer. Forced to sit in pub, drinking ale all day, when you could have been at work enjoying yourself.

 

But it was an act of god, I swear! And anyway, after a couple of Tanglefoots (feet?) I couldn't have been trusted to unset alarms and such
