I know next to nothing of the place - Mum only moved there a dozen
years ago or so ... they're really in South Oulton Broad ... we
usually walk to a particularly nasty but handy pub (The Suffolk Punch)
of an evening, sometimes as far as the Flying Dutchman, or drive to
the big yellow or pink (they insist on repainting the bl**dy place)
pub a bit south (on the A146, he guesses?) Then there's the Jolly
Sailors - nice beer & food & a great view of the wet water. Hmm, I
seem to know a fair bit about it really.
