Moving to Great Yarmouth/Lowestoft area - anyone out there?
Hi all.
I've got a new job which means that mid February I move even further East to Bradwell in between Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.
Anyway, I was wondering whether there's anyone out that way?
Not sure where I'm going to get my cigar boxes from there as I get them free at the moment from a local tobacconists. On the plus side - the new house has a garage with an extra room with a woodworking bench in it. The surveyor said they'd throw it out before I moved in - I said NO!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, it'd be good to know of anyone out there.
Chris

Thanks John,
On the plus side, I should have all the cigar boxes in the locality to myself. I guess that's what you get for moving to the eastermost point of the country......

The eastern most point.....isn't that where all the elves, Bilbo and Frodo went?
Over 20 years since I ventured over there and if it still exists Great Yarmouth Wax Works is worth a visit just to hear all the punters asking each other "Who the f**k is that supposed to be?"
Norwich is close and is a great city - I'd be amazed if there isn't a good music scene going on there.
