Happy Suffolk Day!

[Buenchico]

Greetings to everyone from the fine county of Suffolk on our annual celebratory day. We're feeling so good about ourselves today that I hear we've even relaxed border restrictions between us and Norfolk for the day. (People from Norfolk are normally only allowed into Suffolk if, as well as a valid visa, they can produce a certificate confirming that they're sane. There aren't many people from Norfolk who can meet that requirement!).

Happy Day all you South folk.x

Happy Suffolk Day, Chris....I seem to recall that you should be celebrating it over here with some Poitín I've collected from up the mountain....next year maybe?....x

[Buenchico]

Thanks for your messages, all.

Maybe I'll get over there one day, Gness, or you and Dave could come and visit sunny East Anglia. Alternatively, perhaps we could meet up midway - and all drive Haras2 up the wall ;-)

High Six from the North Folk, no reason to visit the South Folk since they stopped the ferry from Felixstowe 30-odd years ago!

A posh guy walks into a restaurant and demands the waiter to serve him a chicken from Suffolk

The waiter says "Very well! Take a seat, sir! I shall check with the chef and see what we have to offer."

So the waiter goes to the kitchen and after asking for a chicken from Suffolk the chef looks at him with a strange face. He hands him a random cooked chicken and tells him to bring that to the customer.

When the waiter arrives at the posh guy with the chicken, the man sticks his finger up the chicken's backside and gives it a taste.

"This chicken is not from Suffolk! This one is from bloody Yorkshire! Please bring me a chicken from Suffolk!"

The waiter goes back into the kitchen and tells the chef he cooked a chicken from York, but he needs one that came from Suffolk!

Confused, the chef cooks another random chicken and gives it to the waiter to serve to the posh man.

After the chicken is done, the waiter goes back to the customer.

Again, he sticks his finger up the chicken's backside and gives it a good taste.

"This chicken is from Newcastle, Bobbisox land!!! I want a chicken from Suffolk!"

At that moment a drunk man sitting at the bar who witnessed the entire thing walks up to the posh guy.

"Scuse me... could you please stick a finger up my ass? I'm so drunk I completely forgot where I live!"

There's still a ferry from Felixstowe, Zebo, but it won't take you quite as far as Zeebrugge ;-)

LOL @ DTC ;-)

(You're not on commission from this lot, are you?)

Happy Suffolk Day. (only kidding Grandpa)

Keep on clucking over there!

Happy Suffolk Day Chris. Sadly I missed the relaxation at the border today, I spent far too long stuck in Norwich traffic and couldn't risk not making it back before midnight. Maybe next year!

[Buenchico]

Thanks for the additional posts.

I'll grudgingly admit that Norwich does a few things going for it, Maydup, with this being my favourite ;-)

How did I know it’d be a pub!

[Buenchico]

You wouldn't like it, Gness. They don't serve the black stuff!

;-)

[Smowball]

Happy Suffolk Day lol

[gness]

Ahhh….not a proper pub then. :-)

[Buenchico]

Thanks, Smowball!

I'm sure that we could find something to suit your palate though, Gness. They serve a fantastic selection of real ales (but no draught lagers or top-pressure stouts), together with some really good bottled Belgian beers ;-)

Now that reminds me of somewhere else I like in Norwich . . .

I actually did go to Suffolk today, but I had no idea it was a special day.

(I'm not from Norfolk, by the way)

[Buenchico]

>>> I had no idea it was a special day

That's because we're not too keen on allowing foreigners to join in our celebrations, Hoppy ;-)

>>> I'm not from Norfolk, by the way

Lucky you!

I hope that you visited one of the nicer parts of Suffolk. That basically means anywhere in the county except Haverhill (ghastly London-overspill town), Lowestoft (run down and depressing) and Newmarket or Mildenhall (both plain boring).
