Happy Suffolk Day, chico. Ah, dwile flonking, takes me back to my youth! My dad had a very strong suffolk accent and could make it broader if he wished. He and his mates had their 'headquarters' at the Bell Inn in St Olaves, right on the river. There used to be hordes of tourists and dad saw a free drink opportunity - nurdling was born. The idea was that a game and probably drunk, tourist was talked into having a go. Dressed in a country bumpkins tunic and hat and carrying an elaborate pole, decorated with such things as a coypu skull, he was propelled to the door to the back corridor which was dark and had a red tiled floor. Someone would hide in the toilet doorway with a pile of tin trays and as the nurdler dashed past the trays were thrown down. They made a devil of a noise and scared the nurdler witless. He emerged through the bottom door to the bar and was immediately congratulated on a successful nurdle and was persuaded to buy a round. My dad was quite a character.

That sounds just like a normal day in some of the pubs around here, Roo ;-)

[roopower]

Oh, yes, happy days.

[haras2]

They may be looney dwile plonkers over your way but Boy! can they sing :-)
Happy Suffolk Day !

[haras2]

Sorry!
Flonkers:-)

[Buenchico]

You've got to be a plonker in order to become a flonker, Haras2 ;-)

Happy Suffolk Day, Buen & any more Suffolkers on here!
Dwile Flonking, is like a scene from Monty Pythons..:-))

[Hazlinny]

Happy Suffolk Day - what's left of it.

[haras2]

Pleased to hear that..
I was worried that the typo would insult you :-)

[Buenchico]

Thanks, Hazlinny.

That's from the days when The Parrot was a proper pub. There are new licensees there now, with the emphasis shifting more to food:

Looks nice, Buenchico. I have always thought English pubs have more character than many of the Scottish ones (perhaps I will be slated for saying that) .... food has taken over and some pubs might be empty if they did not provide meals?

Two Suffolks in a field and one tries to tell a joke, the other says, "What's the punch-line?"

[Buenchico]

There are some absolutely fantastic pubs in Suffolk - if you can afford their prices, that is, Hazlinny!

How does a Suffolk girl like her eggs?
Fertilised

21.01 That's a "No" then as Lottery has not come up tonight!
Checking map, I see that the nearest I have been to Suffolk was an overnight stop at Peterborough en route to Dover.

[DTCwordfan]

The Euro came up for me last night - two bonus balls and two normal ones - for an incredulous £9.40.

^^^ UK winner won £55 million .. obviously not you!

Is someone on AB keeping quiet?
