Why do the British police have such a poor reputation? Since I’ve lived in King’s Lynn - nearly four years now - I’ve had four dealings with Norfolk’s finest. Here’s what’s happened: Incidents 1 & 2: I had two good bikes stolen within six months of each other. One was locked in a bike shelter at a factory where I was working at the time, the other was locked...

Last winter you may recall, there were temporary traffic lights on Cromwell Road in Wisbech, near the Tesco store which caused all sorts of delays to the X1 service, including an unofficial diversion via the A1101. Well it would seem that a similar diversion may well be put into effect in November when, for approximately 5 weeks the South Brink between Wisbech town bridge and the Weasenham Lane junction...

I promised more from Carters Steam Fair, and these wooden horses do the trick. One of the now rare places where genuine popular art can still be seen, the traditional fairground gives up many treasures in handcrafted decoration. Noel Carrington and Clarke Hutton's King Penguin English Popular Art gives many superb examples from canal boats to gypsy caravans, and I expect the often itinerant artists...

37579 and 37578 rest in Vancouver Avenue on Sunday night. 579 sports the new Kenco advert, the removed poster for 'Dorian Gray' can be seen partly obscuring its replacement ! Photo courtesy of Peter Barclay After several weeks where the King's Lynn school bus stud have remained steadfastly restricted to their Hunstanton trips, today provided some relief. The bus scheduled to work L12 07.45 from Lowestoft...

I've just started reading a crime story by Elly Griffiths called Crossing Places . It is really good. Ruth Galloway is a forensic archaeologist living on the north Norfolk coast near King's Lynn. She is asked to help DCI Harry Nelson when some bones are uncovered near a beach. Fortunately or unfortunately the bones turn out to be an Iron Age burial but that is not the end of the story. On the basis...

Drugs should be legalised and the doctors struck off for helping addicts should be reinstated In opening up the debate on the legalisation of drugs, the Observer has rightly given space to both sides of the issue, but one thing has become quite clear: as John Gray wrote in his excellent article on 13 September (" Each day brings more death. It's time to legalise drugs ", Comment): "The...

This rather colourful advert depicting Norfolk town signs can be seen on the back of 37572/8. 37572 passed the 100k milestone yesterday. It is the only B9 without advertising and this on only one side. It is seen at Tilney on K3 12.55 from Lowestoft this afternoon. The past and possibly the future ? 20123, 20131 and 37159 at Rowan Road this afternoon . Doesn't have the same ring as 'No More Heroes'...

Forgive me for slacking on this one, those of you who are expecting a full report before you part with your cheques for a good cause, I just didn't know where to start. I have far too many photos of just about every corbel, bench end and misericord, because on this sixth of our walks for the Norfolk Churches Trust, we saw some of the great treasures among English churches. Then I found Simon Knott's...

I've just returned from holiday to some good news! Now many people will have heard me say about how paper manufacturing is virtually dead in the UK (which sadly in many ways it is) but here is a brand spanking new paper mill which has just started production here in the UK. Now I don't want anyone to get too excited because it won't actually affect most of us in our sector of what is generally called...

Up at the crack of dawn and on the road back to King’s Lynn, where I picked Sam up at nine. First up we headed out towards Hunstanton, but turned off at Wolferton to have a look at their bi-annual Scarecrow Festival (when I say bi-annual I mean it happens every other year, not twice a year - is bi-annual the right word'). We arrived very early but there were still hundreds of people there already,...
