Ipswich and Asda?

[89spartans_12/03/77]

Are the same people involved do you think?

Well I suppose that depends on what you are on about

That's the most cryptic opener I have seen. I thought it might have been a Daily Telegraph cryptic crossword clue.

Is it another quiz?

 

[SIMJON]

I think they definitely are. Or probably not.

Ipswich means trading centre near a gips - yawning estuary. Grimsby means Grimr's farm or settlement. Asda was founded in 1949 when the supermarket owning Asquith family merged with the Associated Dairies. Lidl takes its name from the surname of the original founder of the company which was Lidl. No links there that I can workout.

Which is what i was thinking about.
But they all seem different types of name origin...geographical, company, personal name, and someone's farm.
So hmm.

Ricky Butcher?

Allow me to explain; the first letter of each of Ipswich, ASDA, Grimsby and Lidl make IAGL which is an anagram of GAIL which is the name of Ricky Butcher's mum.

I thought it had to be something simple!

Is this some sort of queueing reference? I.e. the same people who arrived at SB early morning to queue for Ipswich FA cup tickets might be the same ones queueing outside ASDA pre-6am waiting for it to open?
