they were calling it “Yartoft” but wanted a better name…

can’t exactly see traditional folk singers singing “dew yew go to yartoft, bor?”

Been to Lowestoft a few times and it isn’t that bad but not set foot in yarco (and not sure if I want to, and thats from the tales told of the place by people what actually live there!)

I lived in Lowestoft for a few years and it is a proper shit hole GL. Smackheads everywhere. Then again my stepdad was ‘serving up’ so I probably saw more of it than the avergae joe.

As for the golden coast…pah! I’d never swin in any waters near the place. Me and my stepdad used to get stoned and go walkies down by where they were building oil rigs (about half a mile from the touristy beach).

Oil drums, needles and all sorts of shit were washed up and we even saw a few dead seals :yakk:

Apparently some ambulances won’t go to certain parts of town because they’re regurly done over by junkyies after a quick fix.

Yarko has the highest unemployment rate in the Uk and the highest teenage pregers rate in western Europe :yakk:

I spent a few months living on the streets with my old man thier in 2005 and I can honestly say it’s worse than lowestoft…

Golden Beach my arse :laugh_at:

TBH I adopted the usual survival method when on your own in a strange town – get off train, go straight to where your mates are, do not interact with anyone else on the way unless is unavoidable – this works and i had a good time when I did meet up with everybody.

the only thing that was a mare is the two hour train journey from Ipswich as there are level crossings everywhere and the train has to slow down to avoid running over bumpkins.

its actually no worse than many parts of London or the SE these days (supposedly affluent Reading has many just as shitty areas) and the sea is no worse than the Thames…

Yeah. Head down no eye contact > best way. I always seem to break that rule when I’ve had a bevvy and just seem to wanna have some social interaction. Bad idea in dodgy place> “What the fuck are lookin’ at bruv?” is the response…

Was that you who was on about trippin out on a train and seeing 1930’s signals and stuff coming out of Lowe? :laugh_at:

its wierd though as in some mid suffolk villages and even outskirts of Ipswich its not uncommon for strangers to chat to you and wave, but its usually old people.

yes, and then I think Biotech pointed out that I hadn’t spun out and what I had seen was real – they still use that stuff up there!

I always say hello to randoms in Norwich once I’ve woke up and got the tooothpaste out of my hair :laugh_at:

Some people are really friendly but it’s kinda sad when you say ‘ello to some old biddy and she grabs her hand bag even tighter

:hopeless:

And I don’t even look that dodgy

Yeah Norwich can be a tad weird. You never quite know where you stand with strangers on a night out.

Wheneve I’m md’d up and chillin on a couch, coming up and getting my head round the vibe… I always seem to end up chattin to older ladies and talking bollox. I quite like chattin to people in that state but the comments all come back round a few days later.

“yeah saw you chattin up that old milf blah blah” :laugh_at:

I’m sorry, that’s the last thing on my mind in that situation, I was just passin the time and chewin the fat.
Rabdom conversations can be the tits! you might not remember them in the morning but at the the time…Bang on mate!

raaa

Where do you frequent in the fine city of Norwich btw?

he said he was gonna fuck off out of England when tony blair got in in 1997 and he’s still here :crazy_diz

at least blair kept some of his promises..

and I just remember Paul daniels buying this big toffs house by the Thames near where I used to live and then whinging like fuck because the water got in to his house when it rained…

I cycled past that area from Reading to get to raves on the outskirts of West London and there are bare warnings from environment agency everywhere saying “caution, flood plain”, big signs in the village with assembly points etc..

who did he thing he was, King Cnut? well maybe but spelt a bit different.. Oh, its OK for me to pick on paul daniels because I’m short as well :laugh_at:
