Ever wondered what Ipswich looks like on a Tuesday morning?

Perfect video advertising the attraction of Colchester or Norwich

The horror, the horror.

Ipswich... Where mother is only half a word.

Wish i could go that fast

Makes sense to cater for the contrarians round here. And whilst it might seem surprising enough that the thread title has attracted even the small and distinguished band of contributors to date, I note with astonishment that several of them appear to have watched the video.

I haven't just in case it includes a glimpse of Portman Road.(Norwich City supporter!)

 

[Ganymede]

I've always had a lovely time in Ipswich... but then I've always spent most of my time inside the Wolsey Theatre!

 

[Fnaar]

I have been inspired, and I now wish to live there.

I'm in Warrington at the moment, makes Ipswich look like a chic, happening place. Maybe.

You've been watching re-runs of Mr and Mrs with the coalman again.

Ipswich just doesn't cut the mustard, unlike Norwich.

Slightly OT but aren't Norwich soccer team called The Canaries? Why are they not called 'The Mustards'? Or is it because eating said product over yonder makes the men 'kin 'airy, and the name just stuck?

That's one of your funniest so far...

It dates back 400 or so years from when traders from Belgium and Holland, who were also keen on rearing canaries, settled in Norwich and the city became associated with the birds over the years. The original budgie smugglers I guess!

Lucky it was only budgies. Most soccer teams have a cockatoo somewhere in their history it seems.

" Have you ever ..."
No.

No again.
Been there many years ago on a Sunday morning, is it relevant?

 

[S.Giles]

The high-point of a day (I'm not sure if it was a Tuesday) I spent in Ipswich many years ago was seeing a truck with 'Celestion' painted on the side.

I'm not kidding - it was that exciting.
