Bramford Man Wants To Be Asked His Opinion By High Street Pollster
IPSWICH, TOWN CENTRE:
Eric Boyton, an insurance clerk working within five minutes walk of the town
centre, has revealed his secret desire - to be stopped by just one of the
many market researchers who patrol the high street.
Despite having worked in the low-claims motoring department of one of the
town's biggest insurance companies for some seven years, Eric, 45, who
estimates that he comes into the centre three days out of five, has yet to be
buttonholed by a single pollster.
"Nearly all of my office colleagues have been stopped at some time", said Eric,
"and, in my view, their opinions are worth next-to-nothing".
The Bramford resident added: "I've just got so much to say, whether we're
talking shampoo, low-fat spreads, or even public transport. I regularly take
notes during the adverts. Does no-one want to know what I think?"
New KFC To Seal Town's Bid For City Status
Ipswich's bid to become a city will be all but guaranteed with the completion
of a new KFC on Cardinal Park, borough councillor Fred Melton told
Ippo earlier today.
"I firmly believe our bid to be in the bag", he added. "Nowhere, not even
Milton Keynes, can beat us now - we're city-lickin' good".
With the Colonel's chicken strips and that perennial favourite, the Family
Feast (including Vienetta) on offer, the town has never been better served for
fast food.
Anyone coming out of the Virgin Multiplex on Cardinal Park will be spoiled for
choice snack-wise: will it be hot chicken from the new KFC, a quick
Quarterpounder from MacDonalds, or something slower at the New Orleans bar.
Tasty options all round!
