Russian consulate in Norwich closes!

There is no strange but true category here, but the following was in my local paper today & despite walking past this building a few times most weeks, I had no idea there was a consulate there.

I also had no idea that Albert Bartlett had Russian connections.

One of Britain’s biggest potato farmers has closed a Russian honorary consulate in Norwich as war rages following the invasion of Ukraine.

Potato king Ronnie Bartlett, who runs fruit and veg firm Albert Bartlett, has also stood down as Russian honorary consul with responsibility for Norfolk, a position he had held since January 2020.
