  1. With my boy on the #seafront #Felixstowe #suffolk so windy........ Lovely to make friends with ones grown-up children, so proud of him.

  2. #Gammons complain that #immigrants are men of "fighting age" and "running away" from conflict in their home countries - but here a family in #Felixstowe #Suffolk has abandoned their successful local business to go *back* to #Iran - in spite of the obvious personal danger in doing so..

  3. just remembered how last year a work colleague in #Felixstowe needed two new #tyres on the fleet car she was using - I recommended the tyre garage near the library and the second hand bookshop as it was part of same group (Hadleigh Tyres) I'd used for last 6 years with good results.

    She got the tyres, and submitted invoice for the expense claim. I was initially a bit confused, as the address given was 200 metres away from where I remember the tyre garage being.

    Turns out that Hadleigh Tyres do indeed have *two* branches in Felixstowe, not at all far away from one another and *both* are busy and doing well (an indictment on the state of the roads in that town)

  4. RE: mastodon.social/@anon_opin/115

    Whilst this is partly true - for instance Crossrail / Elizabeth line was debated when I was a teenager, and only completed when I was the other side of 50, this also happen with #motorways / highways - there is no #motorway in the whole of #Suffolk and any plans to expand the A14 highway or deal with the bottleneck of the Orwell Bridge in #Ipswich get regularly rejected - its not even "value for the taxpayer" but also a suprising consensus of rich #NIMBY types who live in the rural areas and #Green activists who are unsurprisingly opposed to more road building - they do have a point as I can remember #M25 being built and soon getting gridlocked - but Suffolk does need *something* to cope with peak time traffic to/from the busy port at #Felixstowe

  5. The #Police do not state whether these were his own or customers vehicles that he's ragging, either way its horrendous #driving for a built up area - if anything its made *worse* because he's being devious enough not to grossly exceed the #speedlimit due to paranoia about #cameras, with acceleration followed by harsh braking.

    I know all the areas he was in and they are busy with other road users, pedestrians, cyclists etc (and the entry to the A14 highway from #Felixstowe shown in the last part of the video is also often busy), none of them are suitable for that kind of behaviour..

    Interesting that #Suffolk #Constabulary gave the video an operation name, it suggests they put a *lot* of effort into gathering evidence against this lad..

  6. Lad from (now closed) father and son #detailing / #valeting company in #Felixstowe #Suffolk got 4 years #prison for #hooning a customers car in a busy surburban street, and crashing in to a pedestrian leading to a #fatality (whilst this #sentence seems light, its due to a guilty plea at Crown Court (would have started at 10 years otherwise, reduced by 2 years due to offenders young age)

    His own middle aged dad didn't set him a very good example and refused to communicate with or compensate the owner of the GTR that was crashed

  7. I wonder if another reason #Felixstowe is getting more visitors is its a far more pleasant place if you are brown or black, not so full of #gammons / #Reform supporters everywhere (in comparison to somewhere like Clacton) and has a more #multicultural crowd of people?

  8. HALLOWEEN PHOTOGRAPHY SPECIAL:

    So this thread is a bit of a surprise. I wasn't originally going to upload this one as I wasn't sure if anyone would even believe me. (You will have to zoom in to see but I will try and produce a zoomed in version and post it in the comments section below)

  10. Oh wise fediverse, can anyone offer any historical context as to why a large signboard such as this would have been dedicated to detailing weather records in the early 1900s?

  11. @ErikJonker @geopolitics In #uk shipping ports, like #felixstowe are a huge target, if not the biggest targets for Russian cyber ops in UK.

  12. #Ipswich only made number 5 in the #Turdtowns list for #Suffolk (so was "least worst" town). I was surprised to find #Leiston in there, didn't think it was that bad but have never been there often and have no reason to. Not surprised #Lowestoft came out on top, and I suspect poverty is a big reason (as it loses out even on martime-related employment to #Felixstowe and #Ipswich )
