Get ready to see Suffolk as you’ve never seen it before thanks to the unique perspective of author Charlie Haylock. This book is a brilliantly original mix of alternative history, hilarious dialect and observations about this extraordinary English county.
One thing’s for sure. Nobody gets Suffolk quite like Charlie Haylock.
The hilarious chapter on ‘Suffolk Norfolk Banter’ needs to be read to be believed, along with the side-splitting ‘Inside Toilet Outside’. There’s also a wealth of information on ‘Suffolk Surnames’ and ‘Famous Owd Suffolkers’, interjected with Charlie’s infamous Suffolk one-liners.
