The Foreign Office has warned British holidaymakers not to travel to Haverhill because of a growing threat of disappointment.

Officials have also begun a mass evacuation of those currently stuck in the Suffolk town, putting on a fleet of taxis to take them home.

Although once a settlement around at the time of the Domesday book, Haverhill was identified as a London overspill town in the 1960s.

And now it has little in common with the neighbouring sleepy towns of Suffolk, like Bury St Edmunds and Lavenham.

Government officials have recognised disappointment for British tourists is "highly likely" and they have ordered them all to leave.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: "Haverhill was once a great place to visit for curious tourists who wanted to try somewhere a little different.

"But new information from our security sources indicate we can not guarantee a lack of disappointment.

"For this reason alone, we are ordering everyone to leave, and go to the coast instead, where the likes of Aldebrugh, Orford or Southwold are waiting."

Haverhill businesses who rely on visitors were furious.

"This is just giving in to the moaners," said Baz Cockney, who runs a pie and mash cafe in the town centre. "We are not disappointing."
