Empty shops

I walked to the town centre and noticed another shop closed down - Evans. Does anyone know if the open somewhere else in Ipswich?

I think Evans is one of the Arcadia brands so I imagine if shoppers make enough fuss they will open up a section in BHS. I always noticed that was empty anyway...I guess that as other shops increase their size ranges their customer base is being squeezed.

The Night Time Hum

Last week my neighbour (Whitby Road) asked me if I had anything with a motor running in my house overnight as after about 10:30pm he can hear a low level rumble/hum throughout the night. So I've checked and he's right about the audible hum, a bit like a ... more »

I hear a constant low buzz, as if there are wasps or bees in the roof.  (It's not so bad if the windows are closed.)   This has been going on for years.  I suspect it's the power lines.

Agree, have 3 dogs and would NEVER have them on a road off the lead, partly because all being rescues they are not well trained enough, (but my old dog, had from a puppy was also always on a lead on the road), and partly cos they do love cats!,
Hayley S
All this talk we've had on here regarding dogs mess,muzzles,leads etc. It's not the dogs fault, it comes down to the owners I believe. They control this sort of behavior. The dog can't pick its own mess up or put muzzle/lead on. So it's time to blame ... more »
