The Silver Star, Ipswich

Alway was horrible. Never mind - I think it's closed now.

Lloyds Tavern, Ipswich

Don't know why this place has never done well as it should have potential. Went upstairs to play pool and the upstairs bar was totally deserted. When first opened, both floors were often busy, but that very soon faded. Used to be a job centre. As I now work in a job centre, shame it still isn't. Might make the work a little more interesting, but we'd never get rid of the claimants.

The Kingfisher, Ipswich

At least it's a local pub with local people in it and there's usually one hand pump lurking among the fizzy pop. Now has regular tribute acts on. At least they're trying. Big projection TV in back room, but it's hard to tell who's playing as the bulb is past its lifetime so the colours are all wrong, and you can't tell the score as it flashes up 'bulb life exceeded' in the top left corner just where the score goes ...
