200 years ago today the Drury Lane Theatre became the first British theatre to be entirely lit by gas.

Apologies for being a bit silent recently but we've been doing stuff to please Mr Google.  He gave us a small pat on the head yesterday ... but we don't trust him.

Rural Myth 72: You can always tell an urban fox in the country, they're the ones looking for an escalator to stand on the right of.

Now would be a good time to make us your home page.

Our A to Z of ntc helps you find your town or village but unlike a satnav it kills 99% of all known germs, doesn't have a patronising voice and has never knowing undersold.

pc tips/the Internet has spawned a social media page.

If yours is a local event for local people then you won't need How to promote your event on nearthcoast.

We've collected past astonishers to their own page.

Life Skills 16: When giving your pump number to a petrol station cashier it might help to gesture towards or look at the pump in the hope that you won't be charged for somebody else's fuel like we did on the A14 a while back.  Yesterday at the same station when we told the female cashier that the gent's toilet stalls were about to overflow we got Mmm ... lovely.

Worried too many people might turn up at your coffee morning?  Garden fete?  Swingers' party?  Don't do promotion on nearthecoast then.

We've licensed a pic via Alamy to a French publisher ... feeling quite cosmo.

Messing with PageSpeed again today, we might wobble a bit.

The village doesn't support you?  Promote your event on nearthecoast.

This afternoon the twice(ish) a month digest will email out to the 1800 odd ntcers on the list ... click Jaques Tati to go on the list.

At the end of October the clocks will go back ... there's no stopping time's process.

Dr Nearthecoast is in and listening at ntc@nearthecoast.com

We'll be testing different PageSpeed configurations today so we'll be a bit wobbly.

SRN Nearthecoast is in, fiddling with her tick list, pen and prescribing guidelines but still listening (apparently) at ntc@nearthecoast.com or text 07970 865730

July house sales review around near the coast.

The server move earlier this month meant Google PageSpeed (does what it says in the name) had to be re-installed ... which is why some of the pix are missing and the bulletin board looks very wrong ... working on it.

  Planning a witch ducking this year?  Promote your event on here.

Still tidying up from the server move earlier this month.

Don't know your way round nearthecoast?  You need the A to Z of ntc, it's FREE and you don't have to pay and display or walk through the gift shop to get out.

The pic zoom is back, try Eve on New Year's Day 2007 (remember her behind the bar at the Framlingham Station) or this same year misfortune at The Crown.  If the Gods of the Internet smile and the pic zoom doesn't go away again there are more Framlingham Ladies.

Throwback Thursday:  Nine years ago today there was a one off car show at the Framlingham Sports Club to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of East Anglian Practical Classics.  As we recall some of the car owners were decidedly grumpy but it didn't spoil the day.
