@glynmoody 'The Time by the Sea' is perfect reading right now.
@davidpnice thanks, not read it, but I'm a big fan of aldeburgh...
@glynmoody I love it and hate it. The setting, and Snape up the river, lovely. But I'll never forget it was driving in to Aldeburgh for the Festival just before the Referendum when I first saw 'Take Back Control' signs outside most houses, and realised we'd been living in a London bubble. Still, the town did shuck off the hideous Therese Coffey and actually went Labour this time, so they're not all bad.
@davidpnice well, East Anglia...
@glynmoody But Norwich is not East Anglia any more than London is England...
@davidpnice but aldeburgh is...
@glynmoody Yes, but even that 'crap town of Britan where no-one has good sex', according to my militant friend Daisy, voted to oust Therese Coffey, so it's not beyond redemption...
@davidpnice well, there is that...
