Advantages: An interesting insight from two different perspectives Disadvantages: There are no answers
I find a certain fascination in true crime books so a quick glance along my bookshelf will reveal books about the Yorkshire Ripper, Harold Shipman and Fred and Rosemary West so I guess it was inevitable that sooner or later I would buy a book about Steve Wright - the so-called 'Suffolk Strangler'. Perhaps it was even more likely because I also happen to live just outside Ipswich so have a knowledge of many of the areas where he was operating. Add to that an interest in psychology and you can perhaps understand why I bought a copy of Hunting Evil: Inside the Ipswich Serial Murders last week almost as soon as it hit the shelves.
Hunting Evil is written by Sky news journalist Paul Harrison who is claiming to be the 'Journalist who broke the story' - well he might have been to the wider world but, here in Ipswich, I was aware of it ...
Advantages: Feels safe, reasonable night life, clean, friendly people Disadvantages: not enough clubs
I live on the outskirts of Ipswich, in a little countryside village. Ipswich is only about 15 minutes drive away, so I'm always going out there.
The shopping has improved recently, don't get me wrong - you won't find loads of amazingly unique shops or anything, but it has most of the shops that other towns have, and two shopping centers (The Buttermarket and Tower Ramparts).
The nightlife in Ipswich is adequate. We have 3 main clubs - Fire & Ice, Liquid and Pals. On Monday nights people tend to go to Club Fire (cheap entry and cheap drinks and lots of cheesy music). Thursdays at Liquid are also popular. The pubs are pretty good - if you're a bit of a rocker then you should check out the Black Horse (near to the police station), which is a nice pub (although a little bit expensive). The Golden Lion is often packed at the weekends ...
Advantages: The food is consistently excellent! Sticky toffee pudding is to die for mmm.... Disadvantages: The outside dining area could be better
The Lime Tree is an independent restaurant is situated in leafy West Didsbury in South Manchester.
For those unfamiliar, Didsbury has a fairly foodie reputation and there are tonnes of restaurants, both chain and independents throughout the area. For as long as I can remember it is unofficially referred to "the best restaurant in Didsbury".
It's certainly the first place I would think of to have a celebratory meal, perfect for when you just want that something special to mark an occasion.
"The food"
Having started out as French cuisine, nowadays the food is mainly modern British / brassiere style. Expect to pay between £3-£8 for starters, £11-£20 for mains and about £4 for deserts although they do serve Sunday lunch menus and early bird offers for lower prices (example price 3 courses for £15.95). Most of the mains are ...
