	In Woodbridge this year there have been nearly 30 purse thefts (there was another one yesterday) with over £2,000 in cash stolen.

So this morning in The Thoroughfare not only advice and free purse chains but PCSOs were helping fit them too. The chains are available free at Woodbridge police station until they aren't.

	Galton Blackiston is a chef and cookery writer whose restaurant is Michelin starred.

	des' dinners at the Woodbridge Anchor Lunchers were the Gentleman Plumber, Richard V and NaTCH, who is reasonably certain he first visited the Anchor on a cycling holiday in 1974/75? It's a Greene KIng pub and GK own Morlands (Speckled Hen) but serving (along with GK Abbott and IPA) was Morlands cooking bitter and it was serving fine ... but it does come in at a fairly hefty 4%. Inevitably much conversation about the loudspeaker industry and the GP and Richard agreed you always get paid more for the work you don't like doing. Not surprisingly with Vernon as the new landlord the food was very good (pork in a cream and mushroom sauce, home made burger, cottage pie) and not that expensive. Vernon told us they have regular music, particularly Monday nights, and yes he did call NaTCH Jeff. (Firstvisit ~ Subsequent lunch ~ Previous lunch)
