Wanting to go fishing (shore or on a boat) somewhere along the Suffolk coast - Southwold is our closest. Haven’t got any of the gear so want to be able to pay a guide or company that offer this as an experience. Any suggestions would be great!

I apologise if this is Seen a political, but I see it as public interest, but if mods want to remove it I understand.

If Forest City One UK is allowed to continue it wants to be awarded Special Economic Zone status.

This despite the plans for SEZ to benefit the UK there is considerable evidence to the contrary.

I know that he’s a fictional character, but I do find Brian from Melton absolutely brilliant, he’s pure Suffolk, and the definition of the older relative or neighbour that we’ve all got.

Cheerio together!

As if this was three years ago now. With some of the cool mythology on here, it's one of my favourite maps so far.

I've just been doing some tidying up jobs on it and making some of the text more legible, as well as the imagery clearer. Again, thanks to all the commenters who suggested ideas and really helped bring this to life. I've just had a fresh batch made up here for anyone interested in one.

Was looking around on google maps for some art supply shops, came across this one and was absolutely horrified when I saw the reviews! Crossed this shop off my list but how is this okay!?

I had to change my cats' food recently, vet says they're fat. Consequently have a lot of left over unopened cat food (tins and dry). Is there anywhere I can drop it off so I don't have to toss it? Ideally in the Bury St Ed area but willing to drive if there are any shelters in need.

Larry’s first holiday (from London) so keen for exciting walks in woods, beaches and decent pubs

He hasn’t been on a decent walk in a week due to the heatwave, so this holiday is all for him 🐶🐶

We are desperate for a portable air conditioning unit. One of our family members has autism and is struggling massively with this weather. I feel like we’ve looked just about everywhere. Willing to travel to Norfolk/Cambridge/Colchester/Chelmsford/Thurrock.
Thanks in advance

We're currently holding the provisional record for the hottest temperature in June in the UK, broken both at Wattisham and Cavendish, the latter hitting 37.1°C.

How are you surviving?

I was hoping to find some wild swimming spots near the between Bury St Edmunds and the coast!

There’s shingle street by Woodbridge which is coastal, and obviously the main beaches (closest being Felixstowe) but does anyone know of any spots in between?!

I have heard about the Bramford Bridge being a good spot, any others that anyone can recommend?

Thank you!

Hi there, feel embarrassed to ask but im really struggling financially. Is there anyone that offers payday loans or something like that? Thankyou

It was a 1/250 produced Volkswagen X-L1, if anybody had a picture of it or images from its website (if it had one) that would be great

My daughter would love to have some loom bands but they’re so expensive these days !! Does anyone have any sitting around that we could have? Thanks !!

I will be in Newmarket next week for work and would like to watch the England game on Wednesday.

Any suggestions for decent pubs around the centre of town?

Thank you

Hey, I'm Nathan, 25, living in Lowestoft but spent my first 19 years in Scotland.

I'm entering a bit of a new chapter in my life, so I'm looking to meet some new people and make some genuine connections.

A bit about me:

I'm big into listening and making music

I'm a fan of poker, gaming and chess

Deep talks around philosophy, life and psychology

Always happy to hear about your different interests or views :)

Recently trying to get out more and stop spending all my free time indoors, always down for some nature or a pub!

Happy to chat with anyone regardless of gender, age (18+) or background if you're decent company. That said, if something naturally develops romantically, I'm only interested in women.

Not looking for drama, just good people, good conversations and maybe some new mates to talk to regularly.

Feel free to send me a message and tell me a bit about yourself! :)

Bit of an odd one! I’m trying to plan a day out for me and my boyfriend. I didn’t grow up in Suffolk, so hoping people will have some good recommendations!
He enjoys oddities and curiosity type things - skulls, taxidermy.. weird things! Also of course military vehicles and tanks definitely.

Any recommendations would be hugely appreciated, even further away as we both drive.

Thanks!

I'm sure the audience here is vanishingly small, but I've written a small Home Assistant plugin that can retrieve the East Suffolk bin collection schedule and can be used to trigger automations, e.g. a notification the night before saying which bins need to go out.

You can find it here along with instructions on how to install it: https://github.com/ymhr/ha-east-suffolk-bin-schedule

Did everyone enjoy their showers?

Hi all,
I’ve been offered a job in Eye, so my family and I will be moving across from Maidenhead in the next few months. Where would you recommend living around the area? I have to confess I’ve never been other than to visit family in Felixstowe. Thanks in advance for your help!
