Yep. A bus isn’t a pleasant experience. I seem to remember.

Can't blame them, if you earn big bucks by subjecting yourself to working in London the first thing you need to do at a weekend is get away from it. Walking along the north Norfolk coast on a bright Saturday morning versus sitting on the tube to get to an overcrowded park full of dickheads... you'd join that queue of Teslas/X5s on a Friday night
Back on topic, any shop you can't find a proper address for and that does not explain why is a non-starter for me... plus their FB page extols the virtues of high end audio fuses... they are grifters!

I am not on Facebook, nor do I want to be so that’s a line of research I am unable to conduct, thanks for that info.

The East Anglian coast gets its fair share of bad weather. Enough to erode the coast at an alarming rate.

You exaggerate, Tony; it's about 2 hours at comfy speeds.
via a pair of headphones ….thinking of the Dyson phones .
Does it use vacuum tubes?
The Anglia lines are no more unreliable than most other areas, which of course means dire.

A kindred soul indeed; could never understand social media, with the exception of themed forums. A downfall for many young'uns, I fear.
Our coast, facing east/NNE (at the top) only suffers from continental cold and winds; it's more the geological make-up on that small strip of E facing coast which is subject to excessive erosion (as in parts of Yorkshire etc., I believe). Our prevailing weather usually comes from the west, so E. Anglia tends to be drier than the west. We don't have any motorways, though the A11 is pretty fast. However, you're buggered when that ends at Norwich unless you want to go to Yarmouth, and who would? The new Northern Distributor Road is a boon, though.
happychappy, you just keep that eastern dream extant !

Kind of Sort of Not really...
My mate just paid 13 quid for a return ticket Norwich to Oxford via that London. Mind you she's got one of those railcard thingies.
OK they cancelled my last train to London. But there's one along half an hour later.
No bother if you're retired.
The OH always says how much better and faster the trains are here compared to the USA. I concur but they are quite fun there.

As an example, Stratford to Cley is about 130 miles, with a large chunk not dual carriageway. On a Friday afternoon/early evening, I doubt you’d do it in under three hours very often.

There used to be a rivalry between the north folk and the south folk. There was certainly sth between Lowestoft (Sfk) and Yarmouth (Nfk) people when my sister had her accommodation agency in the former some 35/40 years ago. L'stoft is the most easterly pint in Britain which is probably its only claim to fame.

The locals always say there are six good reasons to live in Norfolk - you can count them on the fingers of one hand.

Surely not the only claim to fame, birthplace of Benjamin Britten and home town to the greatest rock band ever, possibly......
Mike Reed

Didn't know that (or I had forgotten). As for the band, yes; can't remember their name but it was this century, maybe only a decade or so ago. Not sure if they're still current though.

Martin's hifi in Norwich is quite good, with product demonstration evenings and a good spectrum of equipment.

Are Martins the company that used to be, possibly still are, in the centre of Norwich that also sell white goods?

Don't really understand this, but there's only 1 dealer (in mostly used goods) that I can think of in that compass direction.
