No room at the Inn

How vulnerable does a person have to be to get any help from our caring Ipswich Borough Council ?. Well Mary and Joseph should be grateful they found an inn keeper who could put them up because if they had asked for help from IBC they would have been ... more »

Hope the Diceman doesn't mind me "hijacking" this post, but there will be a pub quiz team from Suffolk Friends there too, including the Diceman, so it would be an opportuntity to meet some of us.

Thanks for that Douglas, I found one picture on line of when The Mount was being demolished, but I don't suppose the area was of enough importance for there to be much recorded about it.

I have some books on 'Old Ipswich' Madge. I'll have a look through. I think perhaps there might be one or two old photos of The Mount in them.

Master Chef

Well, who's going to win Master Chef ? For a time  I did think  Larkin would run away with the title, but now I wouldn't be surprised if either sweet little Natalie or modest Dale didn't snatch it away.

I agree with your choice of 1,2 and 3 thediceman, and your comments about each contestant. I have never seen the Australian Master Chef, so can't comment.
