Thinking paper #28 – Chipping Norton – All you need to know.

By Tim Massingberd-James

Abstract

We have heard a lot in recent days about the Chipping Norton Set, which includes David Cameron, Rebekah Brooks, Jeremy Clarkson, Alex James off of Blur, Matthew Freud, Elisabeth Murdoch, Ruby Wax and Kate Moss, but what does have to attract these people, or anyone?

Things in Chipping Norton

• Pubs

The following reviews from ChippingNorton.net give us a flavour of the nightlife in the town:

> The Blue Boar is a versatile kind of venue, which refuses to be categorised.
> The new tenants of the Red Lion say it is a traditional pub which sets the highest standards
>The Chequers is thought to date back to the late 1500's as a pub when it was identified by a sign of a blue anchor outside.

• Roads

Jeremy Clarkson reported in a recent episode of Top Gear that there are potholes on a roundabout. I wasn't really listening

• Post Offices

The Post Office is located at 20 High Street, Chipping Norton

• Telephones

Since 2009, Chipping Norton has had access to telephones. Rebekah likes this because she likes to not know anything about telling people to listen on the phones, or something.

• Massive expensive houses

Chipping Norton is surrounded by big expensive houses which are perfect for fencing off and not letting anyone into.

Conclusion

Chipping Norton looks dull, but it basically has everything. No wonder these rather boring people who are inexplicably famous like it.
