Ipswich - was a productive manufacturing town, now a dump. Just round the corner from Harwich. Mick got the quote wrong I'm afraid, reputedly he cry at Liverpool Street station which served both places, was "Harwich for the Continent, Frinton for the incontinent", Frinton has always been associated with retirees. Yes! Frinton. I rather like Frinton...
