^^^ The bus is a bit of a hassle. It's half an hour's journey into Ipswich from here and then a 25-minute trip out to Waitrose on the edge of town. Allowing for the 5 minute walk to the bus stop from my house, plus waiting for buses, it works out at over an hour's journey in total.
Actually, I don't mind too much when the hospital ask me to get a blood test done from time to time, as the phlebotomy clinic is very close to Waitrose. So it gives me a chance to do a bit of upmarket shopping occasionally ;-)
[I like Waitrose but not their prices, which are far higher than other supermarkets].
