Woodbridge teens

tu 14 May 2013	The large police presence today at the Wyevale Garden Centre Woodbridge was newly hatched PCSOs about to be set free in the wild and an opportunity for us to meet new Suffolk Chief Constable Douglas Paxton, had no idea he's a Scot until he spoke.

Though there were multiple and continual guest beers Huggy much favoured Charles Wells Bombardier ... didn't think much of Charles Wells Bombardier at the time. The pub is now looking for a landlord.
we 23 Jan 2013	There were two reasons for yesterday's crime reduction event in Woodbridge, to hand out advice and freemans (we were particularly taken with the handbag bells that ting-a-ling when the bag's picked up) and to let new CPSOs deal with the public for the first time.

Since 2001 the shop has been by the traffic lights at the back of Budgens, but East Green Energy made an un-refusable offer for the premises and James Adam will close next Friday. It was lively in there today with customers taking fulsome advantage of the everything must go policy.

fr 22 Jul 2011	Something is happening (colourfully) at the back of the Woodbridge Budgens, what was Viccy Wine in The Thoroughfare for at least two decades is now Cafe Nero and the fake old pub on the Ipswich Road that was the Seal is now the Duke of York.

On the doorstep she was finding that people are concerned about housing, downsizing Ipswich hospital, and two passing Farlingaye students didn't want the Euro because they quite liked the pound We grew up with it.

su 25 Apr 2010	Perhaps we were either too late or too early yesterday morning but no sign of UKIP in the Woodbridge Thoroughfare. The busker (the girlie with the guitar not the very young lad cranking out Hey Jude and Greensleeves on his clarinet) said she hadn't seen any canvassing ... maybe the British Heart ladies had scared them away.
