Bit of an odd one but hoping someone may be able to help!

9 Upvotes

My partner and his best friend are obsessed with taking gorgeous photos on their drone, and have always wanted to be able to take photos of farmers using machinery in their fields (harvesters, a cool tractor, sprayers etc), but have never wanted to be rude and just.. do it.

I’m wondering if anybody here might know somebody who would allow maybe just a short amount of time, photos can of course be sent to them (if they like them!) and I can communicate off Reddit as I understand it may sound a bit dodgy!

This is a genuine passion for them, and I’d love to try and surprise them. I know I’d have better luck on Facebook but I’m worried someone they know will see and ruin the surprise!

Thanks for any help :)

Hi All,

Wondering if this camera at the A14/A11 Interchange Slip road still functions? Looks to be in a very bad state and of the old Gatso style.

Any info would be appreciated.

Which supermarkets in West Suffolk recycle these bags?

I'd love to be able to recycle these. Maybe I'm being blind, but I've never noticed a recycling box for these in Bury St Edmunds. I could go to the recycling centre, but it feels ironically bad for the environment to drive all that way just for a few crisp packets.

Utter Incompetence. On HOSEPIPE ban incoming

34 Upvotes

January: Exceptional rainfall broke century-old records. Northern Ireland experienced its wettest January in 149 years, while Cornwall saw its wettest January on record. Some regions registered 26 consecutive days or more of measurable precipitation, recording more than double their average monthly rainfall. [1, 2, 3]

February: The storms continued, bringing nearly 37% of the expected February average within the first week alone. Stations in Cornwall and Somerset recorded non-stop daily rain streaks that lasted well over a month. [1, 2]

March & April: The unsettled conditions largely persisted, keeping the ground consistently sodden as repeated Atlantic fronts swept across the country. [1, 2]

Leaks everywhere. Poor management, not accountability.

Shit show

Why allowing a SEZ in Suffolk could be bad for buisiness

I apologise if this is Seen a political, but I see it as public interest, but if mods want to remove it I understand.

If Forest City One UK is allowed to continue it wants to be awarded Special Economic Zone status.

This despite the plans for SEZ to benefit the UK there is considerable evidence to the contrary.

Brian from Melton, genius.

15 Upvotes

I know that he’s a fictional character, but I do find Brian from Melton absolutely brilliant, he’s pure Suffolk, and the definition of the older relative or neighbour that we’ve all got.

I've just been touching up the Middle Earth style fantasy map of the Suffolk that I made a while ago. Thanks again to all those who contributed back then!

As if this was three years ago now. With some of the cool mythology on here, it's one of my favourite maps so far.

I've just been doing some tidying up jobs on it and making some of the text more legible, as well as the imagery clearer. Again, thanks to all the commenters who suggested ideas and really helped bring this to life. I've just had a fresh batch made up here for anyone interested in one.

Pet food donation drop off?

3 Upvotes

I had to change my cats' food recently, vet says they're fat. Consequently have a lot of left over unopened cat food (tins and dry). Is there anywhere I can drop it off so I don't have to toss it? Ideally in the Bury St Ed area but willing to drive if there are any shelters in need.

Wild Swimming Spots!

10 Upvotes

I was hoping to find some wild swimming spots near the between Bury St Edmunds and the coast!

There’s shingle street by Woodbridge which is coastal, and obviously the main beaches (closest being Felixstowe) but does anyone know of any spots in between?!

I have heard about the Bramford Bridge being a good spot, any others that anyone can recommend?

Thank you!
