Kalinigrad ( old Konigsberg - you know where the problem comes from) - after what they did to the basket ball player, I wdnt go there either. ( but it is an exclave )

The Suffolk Gazette is, indeed, a spoof newspaper but the basis of the article is true:

I was born and raised in Ipswich and, having returned to my home county after a couple of decades in Sheffield, I've lived 9 miles down the road from there for the past 30-odd years. (I've been shopping in Ipswich this afternoon). It's a town that's very much 'on the up', especially in the Waterfront district (which is packed with bars and restaurants)

and in the classy shopping areas, such as The Saints

The town is worth a visit in its own right for a weekend, or a few days, but it really comes into its own as a great base for discovering East Anglia over a week or two.

I went to Ipswich once years ago when a student on a coach trip to a local brewery (would it have been Greene King??). My boyfriend at the time got so paralytic drunk he couldn't get on the coach back. After a few hours in some pub I had to pay for a taxi back to Colchester in the early hours. It cost £40 which at the time was a fortune.

Nope. They're in Bury St Edmunds. You almost certainly visited the Tolly Cobbold brewery. (
In my childhood days, there were 120 pubs in Ipswich, which was one pub for 1000 people, as the town's population was then 120,000. 116 of those pubs were owned by Tolly Cobbold and only sold their own beers. So the chances of anyone visiting any other brewery in the area in the 60s, 70s and 80s was effectively nil!
Things are a bit different these days though, as we've got 43 different breweries in the county!
