A 137 closure this weekend

[LittleSister]

How much does an effelump weigh

About 1/150th of a huge transformer?

Unsure, but after reading this thread and believing everything BBC Radio Suffolk tells me, Im wondering whether 150 elephants could safely cross the Orwell Bridge.

I'm sure they could if they crossed in line: the bridge would easily take 150 HGVs. But perhaps not if they were all on top of one another.

Only if they broke step

Thanks - I'm not yet sure that I will be making the journey this weekend, but it's useful for others to know.

Interesting, too, to read that the heffalumps will be crossing the Ostrich Creak Bridge!

Just to avoid any confusion that bridge is better known locally as "Bourne Bridge"

The railway bridge over the creek is also known as Ostrich Bridge in the register! I guess it is a sort of contraction of Oyster Reach. (which is name of adjacent Beefeater type place) But I like Bourne Bridge too, so that's ok then


Nice thread drift

The Pub was called The Ostrich, until the Luton brewer bought it

It may well be, but it's marked as 'Ostrich Creek' on maps.

How foxes tend to get on with oysters and ostriches, I don't know.

I would suggest that those oysters originate in West Mersea
