It’s not just about Ed Sheeran, though he stole the limelight last week with the announcement of three big concerts at Portman Road and he took over the Thomas Wolsey pub to convert it to 'the Old Phone' for two weeks.

agreed - that's the comment the neighbor made - the manager's were "surprised" how well it was working out - more productive by some reports
