Ipsquits
That sounds EXACTLY how I remember the place. For the first 18 months, I didn't get to know anyone except people I worked with, despite being fairly gregarious (or a piss-artist, as I believe it's more correctly known). Eventually acquired a gf who was a local (I worked with her, needless to say), which helped considerably - still in touch with a few people I got to know from there, but, interestingly, none were originally from Ipswich, and none of them live there any more. As far as I can tell, everyone I knew in the place has either left it or died. Does it still have a major skag problem? Certainly, finding the 4-week old corpses of junkies in Piper's Court used to be a regular occurrence in my day. Lived there for a year or so - we were the only people in the place who weren't whores or junkies or both.
